Harmony at GenAI and LLMs night at Google London on 10 December 2024 Above: video of the AICamp meetup in London on 10 December 2024. Harmony starts at 40:00 - the first talk is by Connor Leahy of Conjecture We have presented the AI tool Harmony at the GenAI and LLMs night at Google London on 10th December organised by AI Camp at Google Cloud Startup Hub. AI Camp and Google hosted two deep dive tech talks on AI, GenAI, LLMs and machine learning, with food/drink, networking with speakers and fellow developers.
Click to view the video of the training session Transforming data management with the Harmony Data Tool: A hands-on introduction We’re excited to be partnering with UK Data Service to deliver a practical workshop on how to best use our tools. The session will take place online on 29 November. With live demonstrations of the Harmony Data Tool’s key functionalities, participants will leave with a clear understanding of how this tool can improve their data management processes which will help improve the efficiency and accuracy of longitudinal data analysis.
For users who have been using Harmony in their research, we have created an example scripts repository here https://github.com/harmonydata/harmony_examples This contains example R notebooks and Jupyter notebooks. You can upload your own example script if you have something to share with the research community. Example problems that users have been solving included: R examples Walkthrough R notebook in R Studio: Walkthrough R notebook in Google Colab: R Markdown to Check for Correspondence between Differently Worded Versions of the Same Scale Item View on Github - credit to Deanna Varley R Script to Check for Matches between Items from Different Scales View on Github - credit to Deanna Varley Python examples Walkthrough Python notebook Example script to create a crosswalk table on real survey data Example script to strip prefixes from questions Documentation View the PDF documentation of the R package on CRAN
New Feature in Development: Enhancing Harmony with User-Centred Discovery At Harmony, we’re working on a new feature aimed at making data discovery and exploration - through the use of meta-data - even more efficient and intuitive To ensure this feature addresses real needs, we’re conducting co-design sessions with researchers, data-managers and other users, allowing us to develop a tool that solves real-life user requirements. The Co-Design Approach: Co-design allows us to build this feature with direct input from those who will use it most.
We have a few more issues that have been added to the issue trackers. If you are new and would like to make a pull request in either the Python or R libraries feel free to pick these up - they should be quite small. Easy issues in Python library We would like to expose the “between instrument matches” and the “negation” switches in the Python library and then from the API side.
