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

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.

Should AI companies be allowed to mine creative content to train models?

The effects of AI companies training on creative works When AI companies train models on text, video and images from creative industries, the end product is an AI model which can create near-human quality visual designs or copywriting. Many artists have argued the AI companies are exploiting creatives by profiting from their work, while the original creators do not receive any compensation. By flooding the market with low-cost content, AI has driven down rates for human artists, which is threatening creative careers.

Are we in an AI bubble?

None of the content of this article constitutes investment advice. Few would dispute that the global economy is currently in an AI boom. However, opinions are divided over whether this boom also constitutes a bubble.
