Harmony News
[Beta mode: we are currently testing this extension] We have developed a browser extension for Harmony called “Send to Harmony” which lets you send selected text to Harmony with a right-click. For PDFs, use the popup to paste your selected text. Send to Harmony enables users to send selected text to the Harmony Data Harmonization (https://harmonydata.ac.uk/) platform for analysis. 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.
We have a number of exciting updates to Harmony including: some improvements to the R library which have been asked for by researchers around the world who have been using Harmony on studies in lots of different topics as well as making our own fine tuned large language model available in the web UI, which is José’s winning model from the DOXA challenge which ended on 10 January 2025. Harmony has its own Large Language Model!
Harmony is an Official Partner of AI UK 2025 We are delighted to announce that Harmony is an Official Partner of AI UK 2025, the UK’s premier showcase for data science and artificial intelligence, hosted by The Alan Turing Institute. 📅 Date: 17-18 March 2025 📍 Location: Queen Elizabeth II Centre, Westminster, London At Harmony, we are pioneering AI-driven data harmonisation, enabling researchers to compare and integrate questionnaire data across diverse studies.
Help us design the next phase of Harmony and win up to £300 in vouchers! Search and Results UX/UI Challenge Harmony is a platform for researchers to help them discover and compare complex meta-data across different academic studies. The project is a collaboration between University College London (UCL), The University of Ulster, and Fast Data Science and has been funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and by Wellcome as part of the Wellcome Data Prize in Mental Health.
It’s all over! The Matching Challenge is now officially closed. Thank you to everyone who took part. The wait is over! We have now closed the Matching Challenge which was hosted on DOXA AI. Over the course of the competition we saw a total of 26 participants with 14 finalists making it onto the scoreboard. The final days were tense with many participants improving on their scores, submitting different methods and swapping places at the top of the scoreboard.
