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.

Model context protocol vs RAG for chatbots

We are all familiar with the general-purpose chatbots like Gemini, GPT, and Claude. Companies and organisations have also been creating internal and external facing special-purpose chatbots, such as those which can book flights, tell you the weather, answer healthcare related queries, or answer questions about government procedures.
