El diseño de la innovación
La creciente prominencia del diseño ha incrementado el interés por nuevos métodos y estrategias para lograr la innovación, tanto en el mundo profesional como en la enseñanza del diseño. Este artículo presenta tres enfoques diferentes para diseñar innovación: la práctica de la creatividad a través del compromiso con áreas del conocimiento ajenas al del diseño, la fertilización cruzada interdisciplinaria entre diferentes campos del diseño y un enfoque narrativo al diseño
Dissenyant la innovació
La prominència creixent del disseny ha fet que cada vegada es presti més atenció als nous mètodes i estratègies per aconseguir innovació, tant en el món professional com en l'ensenyament del disseny. Aquest article s'ocupa de tres enfocaments diferents de la innovació en el disseny; la fertilització creuada interdisciplinària entre diferents camps del disseny; i una aproximació narrativa al disseny

Bump formation in a binary attractor neural network
This paper investigates the conditions for the formation of local bumps in
the activity of binary attractor neural networks with spatially dependent
connectivity. We show that these formations are observed when asymmetry between
the activity during the retrieval and learning is imposed. Analytical
approximation for the order parameters is derived. The corresponding phase
diagram shows a relatively large and stable region, where this effect is
observed, although the critical storage and the information capacities
drastically decrease inside that region. We demonstrate that the stability of
the network, when starting from the bump formation, is larger than the
stability when starting even from the whole pattern. Finally, we show a very
good agreement between the analytical results and the simulations performed for
different topologies of the network.Comment: about 14 page
Improved storage capacity of hebbian learning attractor neural network with bump formations
The final publication is available at Springer via http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/11840817_25Proceedings of 16th International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks, Athens, Greece, September 10-14, 2006, Part IRecently, bump formations in attractor neural networks with distance dependent connectivities has become of increasing interest for investigation in the field of biological and computational neuroscience. Although the distance dependent connectivity is common in biological networks, a common fault of these network is the sharp drop of the number of patterns p that can remembered, when the activity changes from global to bump-like, than effectively makes these networks low effective.
In this paper we represent a bump-based recursive network specially designed in order to increase its capacity, which is comparable with that of randomly connected sparse network. To this aim, we have tested a selection of 700 natural images on a network with N = 64K neurons with connectivity per neuron C. We have shown that the capacity of the network is of order of C, that is in accordance with the capacity of highly diluted network. Preserving the number of connections per neuron, a non-trivial behavior with the radius of the connectivity has been observed. Our results show that the decrement of the capacity of the bumpy network can be avoided.The authors acknowledge the financial support from the Spanish Grants DGI.M.
