Harmony at MQ and Datamind Data Science workshop

On 2 May 2025, Dr Eoin McElroy demonstrated Harmony at the MQ and Datamind Data Science workshop in Deutsche Bank. Eoin’s presentation focused on “Maximising the use of existing survey data: facilitating cross-study research using retrospective harmonization.” The workshop brought together researchers interested in applying novel harmonisation techniques to existing datasets.

Eoin explained traditional harmonisation processes and presented a user-friendly guide to the Harmony tool, demonstrating how natural language processing can streamline the harmonisation process.

The agenda of the event was:

  • Workshop title: Maximising the use of existing survey data: facilitating cross-study research using retrospective harmonization
  • Harmonised data - recap
  • Retrospective harmonization using a content validation approach
  • Retrospective harmonization using natural language processing: a guide to the Harmony tool
  • Testing the equivalence of your harmonizaed data: a brief guide
  • Harmonization exercise

This plugin provides a right-click or context menu item which allows users to easily bring text from into their harmonisations, making it easier to compare and analyze different measurement scales across research studies.
