NCKU General Education:How to Cultivate the Creativity, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship?Sept 27, 2007 Class#2 Group Creativity Dr. Harold Szu 斯華齡,
Homework#1 Prepare Exemplar(s) for Individual Creativity 4 Rules • 1. Intellectual courage: never be afraid to answer the first question, how everything is invented. • 2. Comprehensiveness, Maxwell Field Equations were invented. • 3. Complimentarily, how the opposite Quantum Mechanics and Classical Mechanics was invented. • 4. Principle of hard working, (smartly with self-guidance notebook everyday before going home and follow it every morning). “10% inspiration, 90% perspiration”—Thomas Edison
Review: Creativity needs both intuition and precision (fine difference and similarity in three disciplines, whether endowed or developed). • Creativity in the Arts & the Literatures • Creativity in Math & Sciences • Creativity in the Engineering • Creativity in Business, and Management
The basic requirement is similar. The essential difference is Degree of Freedom/Constraint (D.O.F/C.) for the identical joy of living by “self-expression.”
Creativity in the Arts & theLiteratures— D.O.C.=2 • Own Inhibition: our own self-inhibition, • Medium Representation: the literature form 1D taxonomy, 2D painting or pictures, 3D sculptures, 2D+time movie or real-time drama • Only sky is the limit of imagination
Creativity in Math & Sciences-- D.O.C.=2+2 • Own Inhibition: • Medium Representation: • Transparency—”science has nothing to do with the truth but self-consistency”--Einstein • Accountability, or Reproducibility by other scientists-- Aristotle Phenomenology Theory
Math intuition and Creativity Poincare (1948): • Math is a discrimination between promising and useless ideas and their combinations. • Math thinking may be based on heuristic search among sufficiently rich representations. • Math intuition is an interplay between spatial imagination, abstraction and approximate reasoning, and analytical reasoning or visual-spatial and linguistic thinking, observed in fNMR imaging (S. Dehaene, 1999).
Creativity in Engineering-- D.O.C.=4+1 • Own Inhibition: • Medium Representation: • Transparency—”science has nothing to do with the truth but self-consistency” Einstein • Accountability, or Reproducibility by other scientists-- Aristotle Phenomenology Theory • Real World Utility Now!
The difference between the innovation and the entrepreneurship is merely the difference in bottom-line entrepreneurship is easier to say but hard to do; it has one extra constraint.
Group Creativity 10 rules • 1. Edify in public (more than 2 persons ); criticize in private • 2. Write others contribution in diary (never forgetful) • 3. Be patience with other team member’s immature creation • 4. Be the most positive and active member in your team • 5. Establish ones mentor(s) in different disciplines • 6. Initiate social occasion & weekly contact with mentor(s). • 7. 24 hours turn around the assignment of mentor(s) or boss. • 8. Two bonded Notebooks, research diary, & study others. • 9. Sharpen tools in languages, math, computers, equipments • 10. Prepare & update ones own work in 1 minute, 10 minutes , and one hour reports; study “Nature per week”
Where were you, when they invented X,Y,Z? X,Y,Z = Symphony, Radio, Movie, TV, PC, Internet, e-Commerce,Genome, Epigenome, Nano-Robot, Nano-Surgeon, etc. Chinese Yi-Chin created the limiting process of modern math e.g. the infinity has no outside; the infinitesimal small has no inside! 老子 (Lao Zi) 大而無外, 小而無内 Indian by Buddhism created the “zero” as the identity of plus (inverse minus) operations. European combining the limiting with the zero in a finite difference method created a rigorous calculus, a working horse of modern engineering. America led NASTRAN calculus into Space Programs
How to become a creative disciple • Keep good quality research diary & assignment record • Thoroughly follow through the lines of attacks • 24 hour turn around the assignment showing your thought process waiting for master comment • Edify the master in public and discuss in private
Keep good diary of concept, logic, essential steps, complete references. That’s why 2 hours extra per day, can yield 200%. Practice multiple resolution answers: 1 sentence for layman, 10 sentences for non-specialists, and hundreds for experts. Connectivity to prior works where ever can & give fair credits Simple idea for a short paper, profound idea for a long paper, then always publishable if not mix up.--- Einstein How to write an diary for journal
Work out your thought diligently: • Three Questions before select R/D thesis, • Keep two notebooks: diary, the literature • Enhance communication, verbal & non-verbal • Creative Negotiating, yourself and others • Build your team in college
Ask 3 Questions before Major/sub-field • Wiseman for list of most important unsolved topics in your interested area • Researchers how to solve his or her problem, and cover all topics one by one comprehensively • Yourself what is your aptitude, specialty making you unique candidate to solve it Yourself Researches major Wiseman When the intersection of union exists, you focus it with passion. Although may delay, never give up.
faster cheaper better Asian-Pacific Tigers did well in Me Too Engineering; sustainability is in doubt! • We must lear the next, called a Creative Me-Too, which reduces the exit risk, and provide competition for better products • e.g. Apple, IBM, China $600 PC=people computer, often makes a buddle of profit for successors.
How do we learn, creative or not? “From cradle to grave yard.” “From K-5 to K-9.” New science of sibilants getting past favoritism, finding niche, bridging differences, fighting it out, success & failure(Carsen & Cole & Steptoe, TIME July 10,,pp. 46-55, 2006). (1)Association (low-pass decomposition everything new appears the same); followed (2) Differentiation (high pass scrutiny), then (3) Unification (inverse Wavelet Transform); & (4) Continues again (Go To Do Loop (1-3) in larger domain) ----Royal Dutch Apprenticeship
Three Steps for Creative Me-Too to build upon others creativity • Courageous Insight of others • Application to own experience • Horizon in sight --------------------five to ten years later Insight Application In sight

Courageous Insights and Daring to answer the first question: • 1986 Gerd Binninig & Heinrich Rohrer, IBM Zurich for Scanning Tunneling Microscope • 1989 Binnig, Quate, Gerber: Atomic Force Microsocpe (AFM) • 1996 Chemistry Curl, Kroto, Smalley C60 buckeye Ball • Courageous insights: Enablers are Piezoelectric Actuator (a soft dipole distortion gives delta voltage read out), Computer Vision display amplifys. • I wrote: Why takes three months to write “IBM in molecules” ? BUT did not answer it.
If I did, we can shorten decade time lag from STM/AFM, nanotechnology to nano-Robot which makes CAD Nano-engineering possible with a yield >25% • I should answer it a decade ago, “the slowness because piezoelectric material is too soft to push the molecules while Brownian motion occurs.” • Human hand can be soft and hard in a multiplex. Why can not make the cantilever arm of AFM like us. Indeed, we can. In 2005 Dr. Xi and I did so to build the first Nano-robot manipulator
Nanorobot NanoLithography 5 mm FOV on polycarbonate Bimimetically modified Piezzoelectrical Cantilever allows us real-time multiplexing between two: “Soft noodle-to-feel-to-see hard chop stick to control” (US Patent pending Szu&Xi)

What is our daily rhythm of wellness? • How to accurate sample our wellness rhythm? Daily ? Weekly? Yearly? • If it were daily then where shall we measure our selves? Home?, Lab?, Hospital? • If we prefer home convenience and privacy, then since none of us are physicians what kind of science and technology that we must develop for ? AI/rule based? ANN/supervised? BNN/unsupervised? • How to define the degree of user friendliness? In terms of whose metric ?
Working Hypothesis #1 Holistic Care,balancing Asian wellness Systematic with Western illness Componential Approach House Hospital When one is not sick, a hospital doctor has not much to help besides annual physical checkup as wellness baseline. Illness Wellness
Working Hypothesis #2“To Err is Human*”: building a safer health system, Minimize US Root Cause of escalating Current Public Health Cost may be due to ¼ mortality end up with wasteful litigations at court When not ill, however feeling bad, no home front first-line preventive care paid by Health Care Insurance, and often losing the timeliness to prevent serious illness. *L. Kohn, J. Corrigan, M. Donaldson, eds. US NAS Institute of Medicine , 6th Printing 2007
BMW Optimization for 2nd Careers Health Care Cost Retiring 65 years old; man 78 years woman at 80 Working Hypothesis #3 Better Quality of Life: Wellness Assurance for Aging Societies— Motto: “High-Tech Safety Net” Aging Baby Boomers Quality of Life
Working Hypothesis #4“2nd Order Phase transition”: human errors are unavoidable because of the intrinsically wellness physiology exceeds conventional sparse sampling annual physical checkups called the “baseline” by Doctors paid by US current insurance. Everyone’s illness may be discrete and binary; but their wellness states are analog & different. To capture the phase transition from discrete sampling may requires ½ day critical Nyquist sampling rate without aliasing effect----a new concept of “wellness baseline profiling™” Szu 2007
ONR Think Tank Fact Sheet • Mr. Alan Greenspan thanked AP for ODM of high-quality low-cost goods curtailing US inflation. • Fed Res. Chair Ben Benanker & GAO warned 78M baby boomers retiring costing 1/5 ~1/4 GDP. • AMA asks “Why illness cost skyrockets?”“Fixing America’s Hospitals” Dr. David Bates of Harvard Medical Sch. Pub. Health Dr. Claudia Kalb showed “100K Am die annually from medical errors; 2005 errors harm 1.5M & cost $3.5B [Oct. 8, 2005 Newsweek's.March 2007 Reader Digest “Nightshifts Nightmares”] • US hospital mortality <¼ owing to human errors (patients, doctors, nurses, hospital procedural); patients physicians suffer law suites and insurance wastes; cost is souring exponentially!
ONR & VA MOU might impact US $3.5B per annum:Translate military persistent surveillance for enemy to ward off human common enemy microorganisms diseases, cancers, etc. “A stitch in time saves nine.” by means of military persistent surveillance--- “house hospital, or housepital” with “wellness baseline profile” benchmarked the ROC utility for “individual diagnosis aids.”
How could we manage rationally without a reliable data?We need “Unsupervised Novel Computing” for Senior Wellness Monitoring Info. System. lack of reliable senior wellness Data Set (Personal Longitudinal Cohort Horizontal, except myth or anecdotic story, ), • No one knows when is the most vulnerable in senior care? • Pre-dawn stroke heart attack, • Standing up after a full dinner, • Taking hot bath, • Bowel movement after constipation, • Coughing severely • They are all vulnerable, but which is statistically significant? “In God We Trust; All the rest must show data” • More aggressively we must increase quality of lives of seniors! • e.g. monitoring sleeping and daily living patterns; eating disorder; vision hearing; personnel glooming & hygiene; driving alert;

To build high-tech safe net at home fronts to prevent health care waste by human errors? • 1.Extend first line defense from hospitals to all households where enemy are: DoD Doctrine war-fighting surveillance. • 2. From satellite spectral imaging of tanks to Angiogenesis of malign tumors:Vatican Rome Phase Iia, NTU Phase II • 3.Diabetics less-invasive Saliva tests kits to supplement capillary blood tests –System on Chip like urine testkit. • 4. Portable & affordable wireless Cardiovascular monitor systems—BFID like passive RFID at 1 Hz
Learning is a hallmark of natural intelligence (NI), unsupervised sensors lerning is a key breakthrough. Generalized Info Sci isothermal equilibruim Topdown Open dynamic biosystems Neuro Sci. power of pairs bottomup
To understand intelligent learning we must answerwhy animal brains are kept constant temperature (37oC=310oK mankind, 40oC for Chicken)? Cortex 17 Why do we always have pairs of input sensors (2 eyes, 2 ears, 2 nasal holes, 2 taste buds, 2 hands etc. 10 Dimension), but singular outputs ?
Impact Area: Why do we have pairs, e.g. two eyes, etc. ten sensors for five sense inputs? Coincidence Account “agree, the info;disagree, the clutter” at the constant 37oC brain temperature for a soft-decision of agreement for instantaneous response for the survival of fittest species (Unsupervised Learning) Coincidence Account, rather Stereo Marr binocular Paradox 3 points be horizontal or vertical ?
