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…
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…
