3️⃣ KAT-ReID – Market-1501

Model Details

• Model name: KAT-ReID (Market-1501)
• Task: Person Re-Identification
• Dataset: Market-1501

---

Model Description

This model evaluates whether KAT’s ImageNet gains translate to standard person ReID benchmarks with minimal occlusion.

It serves as a generalization stress test for GR-KAN-based transformers.

---

Training Data

• Identities: 1,501
• Images: 32,668
• Cameras: 6

Evaluation Results

Metric	Score
mAP	78.8
Rank-1	91.1
Rank-5	96.9
Rank-10	98.2

While competitive, the model does not surpass ViT-based SOTA, highlighting the task-specific nature of KAT benefits.

---

Limitations

• Lower global discriminative power vs ViT baselines
• Performance sensitive to patch overlap and local branch weighting
