Guiding InfoGAN with Semi-Supervision
In this paper we propose a new semi-supervised GAN architecture (ss-InfoGAN)
for image synthesis that leverages information from few labels (as little as
0.22%, max. 10% of the dataset) to learn semantically meaningful and
controllable data representations where latent variables correspond to label
categories. The architecture builds on Information Maximizing Generative
Adversarial Networks (InfoGAN) and is shown to learn both continuous and
categorical codes and achieves higher quality of synthetic samples compared to
fully unsupervised settings. Furthermore, we show that using small amounts of
labeled data speeds-up training convergence. The architecture maintains the
ability to disentangle latent variables for which no labels are available.
Finally, we contribute an information-theoretic reasoning on how introducing
semi-supervision increases mutual information between synthetic and real data
La comĂ©die de lâintolĂ©rance chez Proust et Joyce
La satire contre l'antisĂ©mitisme, chez Proust comme chez Joyce, prend une envergure comique qui finit par mettre en cause non seulement l'intolĂ©rance, mais encore le caractĂšre totalisant de toute idĂ©ologie. MalgrĂ© leurs diffĂ©rences de style et de sujet, les deux Ă©crivains dĂ©ploient un langage qui cherche Ă dĂ©stabiliser les idĂ©es reçues, mĂȘme celles de gens bien-pensants. Cette dĂ©stabilisation se manifeste sous forme d'une multiplicitĂ© de niveaux discursifs, de sorte que mĂȘme une critique de l'intolĂ©rance peut ĂȘtre exposĂ©e Ă l'ironie.The satire of antisemitism, in Proust as in Joyce, takes on a comic dimension that calls into question not just intolerance, but also the totalizing character of all ideology. Despite their differences in style and subject matter, both writers deploy a language that seeks to destabilize received ideas, even those of well-meaning people. This destabilization manifests itself in the multiplicity of discursive levels, so that even a critique of intolerance may treated ironicall

Lower-Middle-Class Masculinity and the Young Menâs Christian Association, 1844-1880
This article examines how old and new theological strains within nineteenth century Evangelicalism were adopted by British YMCAs to cater to the distinct wants and needs of their members in the decades immediately after their founding in 1844. YMCAs sought to address their membersâ lower middle class educational, fraternal, and overall masculine requirements through the careful adoption of agencies of intellectual development. These programmes intersected with both Evangelical theology and the earthly self-improving aspirations of young commercial men. Although scholarship has devoted most of its attention to the British YMCAâs development of physical recreations in the nineteenth century, gymnasiums and athletic clubs did not become commonplace until the end of the century. Their acceptance within YMCA circles was facilitated by the success of these earlier YMCA programs that continued to provide opportunities for lower middle class masculine maturation until well into the twentieth century.Cet article analyse comment les YMCA britanniques ont adaptĂ© les courants Ă©tablis et les nouvelles tendances au sein du mouvement Ă©vangĂ©lique afin de rĂ©pondre aux attentes et besoins variĂ©s de leurs membres au cours des dĂ©cennies suivant leur fondation en 1844. Les YMCA ont cherchĂ© Ă rĂ©pondre aux besoins de leurs membres de la classe moyenne infĂ©rieure en matiĂšre de scolarisation, de fraternisation et dâaffirmation de la masculinitĂ© en adoptant des programmes favorisant le dĂ©veloppement intellectuel, programmes en phase Ă la fois avec la thĂ©ologie Ă©vangĂ©lique et les aspirations mĂ©lioratives des jeunes employĂ©s dâaffaires. Les chercheurs se sont jusquâici surtout intĂ©ressĂ©s Ă lâessor des programmes dâactivitĂ© physique au sein des YMCA britanniques au XIX e siĂšcle, mais il faut noter que les gymnases et clubs athlĂ©tiques ne sont pas devenus courants avant la fin du siĂšcle. Leur acceptation au sein des YMCA a justement Ă©tĂ© facilitĂ©e par le succĂšs de ces prĂ©cĂ©dents programmes qui ont offert des occasions de croissance aux jeunes hommes de la classe moyenne infĂ©rieure jusque tard au XX e siĂšcle
A Model of Hierarchical Professionals: Cooperation and Conflict between Anesthesiologists and CRNAs
This paper examines a labor market with two professional groups both cooperating and directly competing with each other: certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) and anesthesiologists (MDAs). We develop a model where the supply of MDAs endogenously determines (1) the earnings of CRNAs and MDAs, and (2) the extent of supervision of CRNAs by MDAs. We also analyze how MDAs may lobby to limit the scope of practice of CRNAs, and the resulting market equilibrium. Our theoretical model can be applied to the analysis of relationships between other hierarchical professionals with overlapping responsibilities, such as nurse practitioners and primary care physicians.
