Data management for enterprise-grade foundation models: opportunities and challenges.
Data is the fuel that powers foundation models. And to ensure data quality and mitigate various risks for enterprise use, massive datasets have to be properly acquired, cleared and preprocessed, with appropriate access control, data versioning and metadata collection. In this talk, we’ll provide an overview of IBM’s approach to building enterprise-grade foundation models, dive into details about datasets and pipelines, and discuss the use of data lakehouse for opportunities and challenges in data management.
