Federated machine learning: generating value from shared data while maintaining privacy
Data is a fundamental resource for improving our quality of life because it enables better decision-making processes to create personalised products and services, both in the public and private sectors. In contexts such as health, mobility, energy or education, the use of data facilitates more effic…
What data governance should look like in open source AI models
Open source artificial intelligence (AI) is an opportunity to democratise innovation and avoid the concentration of power in the technology industry. However, their development is highly dependent on the availability of high quality datasets and the implementation of robust data governance framework…
The role of open data in the evolution of SLM and LLM: efficiency vs. power
Language models are at the epicentre of the technological paradigm shift that has been taking place in generative artificial intelligence (AI) over the last two years. From the tools with which we interact in natural language to generate text, images or videos and which we use to create creativ…
Open geographic data applications of the National Centre for Geographic Information (NICHD)
The National Centre for Geographic Information publishes open geospatial data from the National Cartographic System, the National Geographic Institute and other organisations through web applications and mobile applications to facilitate access to and consultation of geographic data by citizens.
Geo…
Linguistic corpora: the knowledge engine for AI
The transfer of human knowledge to machine learning models is the basis of all current artificial intelligence. If we want AI models to be able to solve tasks, we first have to encode and transmit solved tasks to them in a formal language that they can process. We understand as a solved task informa…
How to measure carbon footprint using open data
The carbon footprint is a key indicator for understanding the environmental impact of our actions. It measures the amount of greenhouse gas emissions released into the atmosphere as a result of human activities, most notably the burning of fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas and coal. These gases,…
What is the value of open geographic data?
Geographic data allow us to learn about the world around us. From locating optimal travel routes to monitoring natural ecosystems, from urban planning and development to emergency management, geographic data has great potential to drive development and efficiency in multiple economic and social area…
Big Data Test Infrastructure: A free environment for public administrations to experiment with open data
The Big Data Test Infrastructure (BDTI) is a tool funded by the European Digital Agenda, which enables public administrations to perform analysis with open data and open source tools in order to drive innovation.
This free-to-use, cloud-based tool was created in 2019 to accelerate d…
Our first digital navigation. Open source alternatives to Google Maps
In the vast technological landscape, few tools have made as deep a mark as Google Maps. Since its inception, this application has become the standard for finding and navigating points of interest on maps. But what happens when we look for options beyond the ubiquitous map application? In this post w…
