How to build a citizen science initiative considering open data from the start
Citizen participation in the collection of scientific data promotes a more democratic science, by involving society in R+D+i processes and reinforcing accountability. In this sense, there are a variety of citizen science initiatives launched by entities such as CSIC, CENEAM or CREAF, among oth…
Citizen science projects that encourage public knowledge
Citizen science is consolidating itself as one of the most relevant sources of most relevant sources of reference in contemporary research contemporary research. This is recognised by the Centro Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), which defines citizen science as a methodology and a mean…
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…
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…
Fostering a flexible and capillary data economy: the importance of effective public-private partnerships
The European Union aims to boost the Data Economy by promoting the free flow of data between member states and between strategic sectors, for the benefit of businesses, researchers, public administrations and citizens. Undoubtedly, data is a critical factor in the industrial and technological r…
Open science and information systems for research
The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) is a European Union initiative that aims to promote open science through the creation of an open, collaborative and sustainabledigital research infrastructure. EOSC's main objective is to provide European researchers with easier access to the data, tools and re…
The dataspace of tourism
Europe is developing a common data space for tourism, aiming to integrate various stakeholders, including local and regional authorities, the private sector, and multiple member states. Spain is among them, where several workshops have already been conducted as part of the process to energize…
