Thomas Wood presents the Harmony project at the 19th AI and Deep Learning for Enterprise meetup on 8 October 2024.
In case you missed the talk about Harmony on Tuesday at Civo Tech Junction with AI and Deep Learning for Enterprise sponsored by Daemon, you can now watch the recording of the live stream on AI|DL’s channel.
Topic: Harmony: a free online tool using LLMs for research in psychology and social sciences
Speaker: Thomas Wood (Fast Data Science)
Description: Thomas Wood will present our work on Harmony, harmonydata.ac.uk, which is a free online tool that uses generative AI and LLMs to help researchers compare items in questionnaires such as GAD-7 (used to measure anxiety), even when they are written in different languages. Harmony is open source under MIT License and is written in Python, and uses HuggingFace Sentence Transformers to find similarities between questionnaires.
Harmony Discovery will soon allow researchers to discover datasets using a vector search.
Location: Civo Tech Junction, First Floor, 32-37 Cowper St, London EC2A 4AW
Date: 8 October 2024

Our session will explore the transformative potential of Generative AI, focusing on its use cases in matching algorithms and its applications in the financial industry. We’ll dive into how AI models enhance person-matching processes by analysing large datasets for customer service, and personalisation. Additionally, we’ll examine how Generative AI is revolutionising the financial sector.
09:10pm - Wrap up, drinks at Angel London
[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!
