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…
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…
High-value meteorological datasets
The cross-cutting nature of open data on weather and climate data has favoured its use in areas as diverse as precision agriculture, fire prevention or the precision forestry. But the relevance of these datasets lies not only in their direct applicability across multiple industries, but also in thei…
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…
Data policies that foster innovation
The importance of data in today's society and economy is no longer in doubt. Data is now present in virtually every aspect of our lives. This is why more and more countries have been incorporating specific data-related regulations into their policies: whether they relate to personal, busin…
Segment Anything Model: Key Insights from Meta's Segmentation Model Applied to Spatial Data
Image segmentation is a method that divides a digital image into subgroups (segments) to reduce its complexity, thus facilitating its processing or analysis. The purpose of segmentation is to assign labels to pixels to identify objects, people, or other elements in the image.
Image segmentation is c…
Open data and climate change: essential information for a sustainable future
In recent years, climate change has become one of the most pressing challenges of our time because, according to the main reports of different international institutions, it is accelerating beyond the most pessimistic forecasts. Rising global temperatures, melting glaciers, rising sea levels and the…
Open data as a tool for education and training
The demand for professionals with skills related to data analytics continues to grow and it is already estimated that just the industry in Spain would need more than 90,000 data and artificial intelligence professionals to boost the economy. Training professionals who can fill this gap is a major ch…
This is MarIA, the first artificial intelligence in the Spanish language
After several months of tests and different types of training, the first massive Artificial Intelligence system in the Spanish language is capable of generating its own texts and summarising existing ones. MarIA is a project that has been promoted by the Secretary of State for Digitalisation and Art…
Open data in transport and urban mobility research projects
Open data portals are experiencing a significant growth in the number of datasets being published in the transport and mobility category. For example, the EU's open data portal already has almost 48,000 datasets in the transport category or Spain's own portal datos.gob.es, which has around 2,000 dat…
