A study of the Socialist Realist aesthetic focusing on the artist Aleksandr Deineka. Dislodging the avant-garde from its central position in the narrative of Soviet art, Collective Body presents painter Aleksandr Deineka's haptic and corporeal version of Socialist Realist figuration as an alternate experimental aesthetic that, at its best, activates and organizes affective forces for collective ends. Christina Kiaer traces Deineka's path from his avant-garde origins as the inventor of the proletarian body in illustrations for mass magazines after the revolution through his success as a state-sponsored painter of monumental, lyrical canvases during the Terror and beyond. In so doing, she demonstrates that Socialist Realism is best understood not as a totalitarian style but as a fiercely collective art system that organized art outside the market and formed part of the legacy of the revolutionary modernisms of the 1920s. Collective Body accounts for the way the art of the October Revolution continues to capture viewers'imaginations by evoking the elation of collectivity, making viewers not just comprehend but truly feel socialism, and retaining the potential to inform our own art-into-life experiments within contemporary political art. Deineka figures in this study not as a singular master, in the spirit of a traditional monograph, but as a limit case of the system he inhabited and helped to create.

Authored by researchers and practitioners who build cutting-edge federated learning applications to solve real-world problems, this book covers the spectrum of federated learning technology from concepts and application scenarios to advanced algorithms and finally system implementation in three parts. It provides a comprehensive review and summary of federated learning technology, as well as presenting numerous novel federated learning algorithms which no other books have summarized. The work also references the most recent papers, articles and reviews from the past several years to keep pace with the academic and industrial state of the art of federated learning.The first part lays a foundational understanding of federated learning by going through its definition and characteristics, and also possible application scenarios and related privacy protection technologies. The second part elaborates on some of the federated learning algorithms innovated by JD Technology which encompass both vertical and horizontal scenarios, including vertical federated tree models, linear regression, kernel learning, asynchronous methods, deep learning, homomorphic encryption, and reinforcement learning. The third and final part shifts in scope to federated learning systems — namely JD Technology's own FedLearn system — by discussing its design and implementation using gRPC, in addition to specific performance optimization techniques plus integration with blockchain technology.This book will serve as a great reference for readers who are experienced in federated learning algorithms, building privacy-preserving machine learning applications or solving real-world problems with privacy-restricted scenarios.

Le livre Une approche d'équité sociopédagogique sensible à l'EDI (équité, diversité, inclusion) pour intéresser les filles et les garçons à s'orienter en STIM (sciences, technologies, ingénierie, mathématiques) vise à favoriser des carrières en STIM pour trois raisons : 1) La société actuelle a besoin de scientifiques, plus que jamais, avec la pandémie de COVID-19 et peut-être d'autres qui pourront advenir, mais aussi avec les progrès en intelligence artificielle et toutes les questions qui se posent en ce domaine ; 2) Les filles comme les garçons ne forment pas des groupes homogènes. Toutes les réflexions sur l'intersectionnalité font penser qu'autant dans le groupe des filles que dans celui des garçons, il y a des discriminations qui diffèrent d'une fille à l'autre ou d'un garçon à l'autre selon l'apparence, la situation socioéconomique, l'orientation sexuelle, les croyances religieuses, les expériences passées dans les domaines des STIM, etc. ; 3) Les réflexions actuelles à propos de l'élaboration de programmes EDI (équité, diversité, inclusion) mènent à élargir le débat et les réflexions collectives. Néanmoins, la situation des filles dans différents domaines des STIM est préoccupante, et il importe de ne pas l'oublier et d'en tenir compte. Dans la classe, il est possible d'y arriver, sans nécessairement dire que ce sont des filles qui sont particulièrement visées, mais en pensant à elles en sachant que des garçons seront aussi rejoints par les propositions. Cinq grandes parties sont proposées dans ce livre : 1) La prise en compte de la dimension affective en STIM ; 2) La prise en compte des dimensions cognitive et métacognitive dans les domaines des STIM ; 3) Un thème récurrent associé à l'utilité de ces différents domaines ; 4) Une pratique réflexive-interactive pour mettre en place des changements ; 5) De courts textes pour former et s'autoformer. Quelques expérimentations ont été réalisées ; elles sont résumées avec des commentaires.
