Statistical fluxes and the Curie-Weiss metal state
We predict a new state of matter in the triangular t-J model in a high doping
regime. Due to the altered role of quantum statistics the spins are `localized'
in statistical Landau orbits, while the charge carriers form a Bose metal that
feels the spins through random gauge fields. In contrast to the Fermi-liquid
state, this state naturally exhibits a Curie-Weiss susceptibility, large
thermopower, and linear-temperature resistivity, explaining the physics of
\textrm{Na}\textrm{CoO} at A `smoking gun' prediction for
neutron scattering is presented.Comment: 5 pages,4 figure
Improving Person Re-identification by Attribute and Identity Learning
Person re-identification (re-ID) and attribute recognition share a common
target at learning pedestrian descriptions. Their difference consists in the
granularity. Most existing re-ID methods only take identity labels of
pedestrians into consideration. However, we find the attributes, containing
detailed local descriptions, are beneficial in allowing the re-ID model to
learn more discriminative feature representations. In this paper, based on the
complementarity of attribute labels and ID labels, we propose an
attribute-person recognition (APR) network, a multi-task network which learns a
re-ID embedding and at the same time predicts pedestrian attributes. We
manually annotate attribute labels for two large-scale re-ID datasets, and
systematically investigate how person re-ID and attribute recognition benefit
from each other. In addition, we re-weight the attribute predictions
considering the dependencies and correlations among the attributes. The
experimental results on two large-scale re-ID benchmarks demonstrate that by
learning a more discriminative representation, APR achieves competitive re-ID
performance compared with the state-of-the-art methods. We use APR to speed up
the retrieval process by ten times with a minor accuracy drop of 2.92% on
Market-1501. Besides, we also apply APR on the attribute recognition task and
demonstrate improvement over the baselines.Comment: Accepted to Pattern Recognition (PR
