Harmonising mental health data

We excited to announce that we are working on a new AI research project called Harmony for the Wellcome Trust Mental Health Data Prize - this uses natural language processing to combine data in the social sciences from different questionnaires, such as the GAD-7 and Beck’s Anxiety Inventory, even when the questionnaires are in different languages!

You can read more about the Wellcome Data Prizes here, and you can find out more about Harmony here.

The team at Harmony is made up of:

  • Bettina Moltrecht, PhD (UCL)
  • Dr Eoin McElroy (University of Ulster)
  • Dr George Ploubidis (UCL)
  • Dr Mauricio Scopel Hoffman (Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, Brazil)
  • Thomas Wood (Fast Data Science)

Here is an interesting radio programme about the Wellcome Trust Data Prize in mental health from the South African radio station Fabrik FM.

Using Natural Language Processing (NLP) to predict the future

Guest post by Alex Nikic In the past few years, Generative AI technology has advanced rapidly, and businesses are increasingly adopting it for a variety of tasks. While GenAI excels at tasks such as document summarisation, question answering, and content generation, it lacks the ability to provide reliable forecasts for future events. GenAI models are not designed for forecasting, and along with the tendancy to hallucinate information, the output of these models should not be trusted when planning key business decisions. For more details, a previous article on our blog explores in-depth the trade-offs of GenAI vs Traditional Machine Learning approaches.
