Harmony: A new AI data tool for Research at the Alan Turing Institute

The Harmony project is an Official Partner of AI UK 2025, the UK’s national showcase of data science and artificial intelligence, hosted by The Alan Turing Institute.

Bettina Moltrecht and Thomas Wood will be presenting Harmony at the AI UK event and we will also have a stall.

  • 📅 Date: 17-18 March 2025
  • 📍 Location: Queen Elizabeth II Centre, Westminster, London.
  • 📍 Room: Workshop space three, Albert room, Second floor

​Join the workshop – Monday 17 March, 10 AM - 12 PM – where we’ll dive deep into how Harmony is being used to improve research data with Bettina Moltrecht and Thomas Wood.

Harmony is a new open-source data tool, a winner of the Wellcome Trust Mental Health Data Prize, which uses custom LLMs to help researchers compare and harmonise metadata from different research studies.

Join this 2 hour workshop for a deep dive into the Harmony project, get insights into the tool, how to use it and how it can transform your research and data science processes. We will also introduce to the next phase of Harmony where we will apply it to data discovery challenges. There will be live demos of the tool and live discussion around use cases and applications. We will also share our coding and design challenges and how you can get involved in in the Harmony community.

Workshop booking will open for all in person delegates at 10am on the 12th March

AI for expert witness work

This is an article based on my presentation on “The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Expert Investigations and the Preparation of reports” which I gave at the Expert Witness Conference on 20 May 2026.

How can we turn unstructured data into structured data with generative AI?

How can we turn unstructured data into structured data with generative AI?

Many companies and organisations have large datasets that are stored in a very unstructured format. For example, you could work for a US based healthcare provider or insurer and have patient records stored in a free text format such as HL7 files or PDFs. A building regulator, land registry, or mortgage provider may have texts and accompanying diagrams from thousands of building inspections or land title deeds. A patent attorney’s office may have records of patent applications in PDF format.

Takeaways from the Expert Witness Conference in Ireland

On 20 May, I attended the Expert Witness Conference in Dublin, Ireland, organised by La Touche Training. It was an eye opening event with a mixture of lawyers and expert witnesses in different fields from Ireland and abroad. The event was chaired by Mr Justice Michael Peart, with a keynote address by the Honourable Mr Justice David Barniville, President of the High Court of Ireland.
