Harmony on Kaggle

Harmony launches on Kaggle!

We are proud to have launched our first competition on Kaggle!

The primary challenge of this competition is to develop an AI tool or method that can accurately extract questionnaire questions from documents, primarily PDFs.

This competition offers a unique opportunity for participants to contribute to the field of natural language processing and document analysis as well as open source for social science while developing solutions that have real-world applications. We encourage participants to think creatively, leverage available resources, and push the boundaries of current technologies.

Harmony Data Discovery

New Feature in Development: Enhancing Harmony with User-Centred Discovery At Harmony, we’re working on a new feature aimed at making data exploration and analysis 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.
