Harmony at PyData London - 86th Meetup

NLP and generative models for psychology research - Thomas Wood

Update: you can download the slides from the presentation here

Link to the meet up: Meetup.com.

I will present our work on Harmony, harmonydata.ac.uk, which is a free online AI research tool that uses generative AI and LLMs to help psychologists analyse datasets. It uses Python, Pandas and HuggingFace Sentence Transformers to find similarities between questionnaires.

Psychologists and social scientists often have to match items in different questionnaires, such as “I often feel anxious” and “Feeling nervous, anxious or afraid”.

This is called harmonisation.

Harmonisation is a time consuming and subjective process. Going through long PDFs of questionnaires and putting the questions into Excel is no fun.

We’ve been working on an open source Python library and free web tool called Harmony which uses natural language processing and generative AI models to help researchers harmonise questionnaire items, even in different languages.

Can I use AI in court?

Can I use AI in court?

When can lawyers, litigants in person, and expert witnesses use AI in court documents? In the last few years in the UK, the USA, Canada, Ireland and other jurisdictions, cases have been reported where submissions were made to a court where the author of a document used generative AI tools such as ChatGPT to create those documents. This has wasted court time, resulted in submissions being rejected or even resulted in changes to cost awards.

A person has recently returned from a camping trip and has a fever. Should a doctor diagnose flu or Lyme disease? Would this be any different if they had not mentioned their camping trip? Here’s how LLMs differ from human experts.

Predicting Customer Churn using Machine Learning and AI

How can you predict customer churn using machine learning and AI? In an earlier blog post, I introduced the concept of customer churn. Here, I’d like to dive into customer churn prediction in more detail and show how we can easily and simply use AI to predict customer churn.
