Abstract: The Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) has made impressive achievement in image generation. Basically, it is composed of a Discriminator and a Generator. The former reveals whether a generated sample is fake or real, while the latter produces samples to cheat the discriminator. While major attention is paid on the visual quality of the generated samples and semi-supervised learning in vivo, we focus on thein vitro application of the generated samples in supervised learning. Particularly, we consider the task of person re-identification (re-ID), a popular vision topic aiming to retrieve images of a queried identity from a large person gallery.
