Building footprints: open data that saves lives in emergencies
In a world increasingly exposed to natural hazards and humanitarian crises, accurate and up-to-date geospatial data can make the difference between effective response and delayed reaction. The building footprints, i.e. the contours of buildings as they appear on the ground, are one of the most valua…
Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI): how open data can help understand algorithms
The increasing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) systems in critical areas such as public administration, financial services or healthcare has brought the need for algorithmic transparency to the forefront. The complexity of AI models used to make decisions such as granting credit or making a…
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…
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 geographic data applications of the National Centre for Geographic Information (NICHD)
The National Centre for Geographic Information publishes open geospatial data from the National Cartographic System, the National Geographic Institute and other organisations through web applications and mobile applications to facilitate access to and consultation of geographic data by citizens.

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…
When to use each programming language in data science?
Python, R, SQL, JavaScript, C++, HTML... Nowadays we can find a multitude of programming languages that allow us to develop software programmes, applications, web pages, etc. Each one has unique characteristics that differentiate it from the rest and make it more appropriate for certain tasks. But h…
10 Popular natural language processing libraries
The advance of supercomputing and data analytics in fields as diverse as social networks or customer service is encouraging a part of artificial intelligence (AI) to focus on developing algorithms capable of processing and generating natural language.
To be able to carry out this task in the current…
