Design as a Critical Research

open access: yesLibro de Actas - Systems & Design: Beyond Processes and Thinking (IFDP - SD2016), 2016
Historically the imaginary and the hegemonic thinking, in the Western North globe has been marked by the epistemology and capitalists archetypes. Notwithstanding the design as a practice and discipline seem shielded on a simplistic discourse of functional / communicative efficiency, wandering through multiple aestheticism apparently neutral in relation

Embedding critics in design environments [PDF]

open access: yesThe Knowledge Engineering Review, 1993
Abstract Human understanding in design evolves through a process of critiquing existing knowledge and consequently expanding the store of design knowledge. Critiquing is a dialogue in which the interjection of a reasoned opinion about a product or action triggers further reflection on or changes to the artifact being designed.

Continuous adaptive critic designs [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings. 2005 IEEE International Joint Conference on Neural Networks, 2005., 2006
A continuous formulation of an adaptive critic design (ACD) is investigated. Connections to the discrete case are made, where backpropagation through time (BPTT) and realtime recurrent learning (RTRL) are prevalent. A second order actor adaptation, based on Newton's method, is established for fast actor convergence.
