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. Sign up for the session.

The session will be presented by Harmony project leaders: Bettina Moltrecht, PhD from the UCL Centre for Longitudinal Studies at UCL, Eoin McElroy from Ulster University and Thomas Wood from Fast Data Science.

Improving Harmony's PDF extraction with user testing

Since we built Harmony, a common complaint has been that it frequently identifies the wrong questions in PDFs. The original algorithm for finding questions in PDFs was a mixture of rule based heuristics and some hand coded logic to look for e.g. lines in the document which begin with numbers. This was very fragile and worked fine on short questionnaires such as the GAD-7, but failed on larger documents. We decided to run a competition with our partner DOXA AI where members of the public could train their own model to extract questions from PDFs.

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.
