Generating Artificial Intelligence in Barcelona

Image
Barcelona is emerging as a leading hub for artificial intelligence research and development. Recent advances in generative AI are creating excitement in Barcelona's academic and startup communities. In this post, we'll explore how Barcelona researchers are pushing the boundaries of generative AI - systems capable of creating original digital content. What is Generative AI? Generative AI refers to machine learning techniques that allow computers to generate new content like images, videos, text and audio. The most popular forms today include: Generative adversarial networks (GANs) - Two neural networks contest with each other to generate increasingly realistic outputs. Variational autoencoders (VAEs) - Neural nets that learn compressed representations of data to generate new samples. Diffusion models - Generate content by iteratively revising noise into more structured outputs. Reinforcement learning - Guides AI agents via rewards to create content that maximizes g

How Synthetic Data is Being Used in Machine Learning Projects in Barcelona

Image
What is Synthetic Data? Synthetic data is artificial data that is created to mimic real-world data. It is often used in machine learning projects to train models that can be used to make predictions or decisions in a variety of industries. There are a number of reasons why synthetic data is becoming increasingly popular in machine learning projects. First, it can be used to train models on data that is difficult or expensive to collect in the real world. For example, a company that wants to develop a model to predict customer churn might not have access to enough real-world data to train the model effectively. In this case, the company could use synthetic data to create a larger and more diverse dataset that can be used to train the model. Second, synthetic data can be used to address privacy concerns. In some cases, companies may not be able to share real-world data with third-party organizations, such as machine learning providers. In this case, the company could use syntheti
