Technical Definition

An approach to AI development that prioritizes improving the quality, consistency, and quantity of data over model architecture.

How it works

Data-centric AI recognizes that the performance of AI models is heavily dependent on the quality of their training data. Instead of solely focusing on complex algorithms, this paradigm emphasizes data annotation, cleaning, augmentation, and curation. This often leads to more robust and accurate models.
