Data-Centric AI

Accelerate AI through improved data

Let data be the focus of AI development. Better data, improved Machine Learning performance.

Data-Centric AI is the process of building and testing AI systems by focusing on data-centric operations (i.e. cleaning, cleansing, pre-processing, balancing, augmentation) rather than model-centric operations (i.e. hyper-parameters selection, architectural changes)”

What is data-centric AI?

Focus on your data

The centerpiece of Machine Learning has always been around data - "Garbage in, garbage out" had been widely used when talking about Analytics and Machine Learning, but only more recently, and with the advent of considerable and sophisticated models, data science teams have decided to shift their focus to data. Data-Centric AI is the process of iterating, collaborating, and optimizing the quality of the data to enhance the performance of models. 

 

Model-Centric vs Data-Centric

Under the Model-Centric AI umbrella and in the Machine Learning equation, the data is the fixed variable. 

The mindset that data is a fixed artifact leads to its exclusion from the models' development process. In a reality where real data is noisy, focusing on algorithms and architectures, parameters selection, and data architectures is not enough for AI success.

Data-Centric AI is a pragmatic approach to developing Machine Learning and Data Science solutions that makes sense when working with real-world data. Data is now part of the Machine Learning iterative development process, and its stakes are higher regarding business value delivered by AI.

Becoming "data-centric" means - spending more time managing, profiling, augmenting, and curating data efficiently in a reproducible manner.
