Data Curation
Definition
Data curation in AI involves selecting and organizing high-quality data. This ensures that artificial intelligence (AI) models perform at their best, learning effectively and delivering accurate results.
Where you’ll find it
Data curation is part of the data preprocessing stage in AI development environments or platforms. Here, raw data is transformed and tidied up before being used to train AI models.
Common use cases
- Preparing data for training: Ensuring that the data fed into AI models is clean and well-structured.
- Enhancing model accuracy: Using curated data allows AI models to make more precise predictions.
- Improving efficiency in model training: Well-curated data speeds up the training process by reducing noise in the data set.
Things to watch out for
- Quality over quantity: More data isn't always better. Focus on high-quality data that is relevant and well-curated.
- Manual oversight required: While some tools can automate parts of the data curation process, critical decisions often need human judgment.
- Time-consuming process: Be prepared for data curation to take a significant amount of time, as it involves meticulous examination and organization of data.
