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…
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…
How Artificial Intelligence and Open Data can re-imagine our cultural future
We are currently in the midst of an unprecedented race to master innovations in Artificial Intelligence. Over the past year, the star of the show has been Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI), i.e., that which is capable of generating original and creative content such as images, text or music…
Data activism: an increasingly relevant practice in the age of platforms
Data activism is an increasingly significant citizen practice in the platform era for its growing contribution to democracy, social justice and rights. It is an activism that uses data and data analysis to generate evidence and visualisations with the aim of revealing injustices, improving peop…
Open data as a source of knowledge for generative artificial intelligence
Generative artificial intelligence refers to machine’s ability to generate original and creative content, such as images, text or music, from a set of input data. As far as text generation is concerned, these models have been accessible, in an experimental format, for some time, but began to generat…
Artificial Intelligence applied to the identification and classification of diseases detected by radiodiagnosis
In this post we have described step-by-step a data science exercise in which we try to train a deep learning model with a view to automatically classifying medical images of healthy and sick people.
Diagnostic imaging has been around for many years in the hospitals of develo…
Trends in open data around the world
In view of the series of current and future trends around the future of open data indicated in our report, we wanted to check to what extent these - or similar - trends are already present in the global open data community. To this end, we have verified the current activities and future plans of sev…
The new life of data beyond reporting
Public administrations and international organisations are increasingly using new, more practical and creative approaches to problem solving, focusing on real data and how to better understand people's needs. This will enable them to propose solutions that meet those needs more directly and effecti…
Data Science, machine learning and deep learning
Data science is an interdisciplinary field that seeks to extract actuable knowledge from datasets, structured in databases or unstructured as texts, audios or videos. Thanks to the application of new techniques, data science is allowing for answering questions that are not easy to solve through othe…
