SLM, LLM, RAG and Fine-tuning: Pillars of Modern Generative AI
In the fast-paced world of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), there are several concepts that have become fundamental to understanding and harnessing the potential of this technology. Today we focus on four: Small Language Models(SLM), Large Language Models(LLM), Retrieval Augmented Generation…
Open data and generative AI: synergies and use cases
Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionising the way we create and consume content. From automating repetitive tasks to personalising experiences, AI offers tools that are changing the landscape of marketing, communication and creativity.
These artificial intelligences need to be trained wi…
RAG techniques: how they work and examples of use cases
In recent months we have seen how the large language models (LLMs ) that enable Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) applications have been improving in terms of accuracy and reliability. RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) techniques have allowed us to use the full power of n…
The impact of open data along its value chain: Indicators and future directions
The transformative potential of open data initiatives is now widely recognised as they offer opportunities for fostering innovation, greater transparency and improved efficiency in many processes. However, reliable measurement of the real impact of these initiatives is difficult to obtain.
From this…
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…
GRAPH QL. Your best ally for the creation of data products.
The era of digitalisation in which we find ourselves has filled our daily lives with data products or data-driven products. In this post we discover what they are and show you one of the key data technologies to design and build this kind of products: GraphQL.
Introduction
Let's start at the beginni…
RAG - Retrieval Augmented Generation: The key that unlocks the door to precision language models
Teaching computers to understand how humans speak and write is a long-standing challenge in the field of artificial intelligence, known as natural language processing (NLP). However, in the last two years or so, we have seen the fall of this old stronghold with the advent of large language models (L…
Invisibilisation and algorithmic discrimination
Digital technology and algorithms have revolutionised the way we live, work and communicate. While promising efficiency, accuracy and convenience, these technologies can exacerbate prejudice and social inequalities exacerbate prejudice and social inequalities and create new forms of exclusion and cr…
Quantifying the value of data
There is a recurring question that has been around since the beginning of the open data movement, and as efforts and investments in data collection and publication have increased, it has resonated more and more strongly: What is the value of a dataset?
This is an extremely difficult question to answ…
The gender gap: inequality is also in the data
Today, 8 March is the day on which we commemorate women's struggle to achieve their full participation in society, as well as giving visibility to the current gender inequality and demanding global action for effective equality of rights in all areas.
However, the data seem to indicate that we still…
