Benefits and opportunities of public initiatives for open data visualisation
Imagine you want to know how many terraces there are in your neighbourhood, how the pollen levels in the air you breathe every day are evolving or whether recycling in your city is working well. All this information exists in your municipality's databases, but it sits in spreadsheets and technical d…
Data on the banking sector: sources of access
Access to financial and banking data is revolutionising the sector, promoting transparency, financial inclusion and innovation in economic services. However, the management of this data faces regulatory challenges in balancing openness with security and privacy.
For this reason, there are different…
DGT datasets to help improve traffic and road safety
The General direction of traffic (DGT in its Spanish acronym) is the body responsible for ensuring safety and fluidity on the roads in Spain. Among other activities, it is responsible for the issuing of permits, traffic control and the management of infringements.
As a result of its activity, a larg…
Open data in local authorities: priorities and highlighted datasets
Local public bodies, such as county councils and municipalities, play a crucial role in opening their data to the public. Making data available to citizens not only builds trust in institutions, but also drives innovation, facilitates citizen participation and promotes informed decision-making. Thro…
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…
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…
