I’m sure you will have seen news articles and social media posts about the recent generation of language models which are able to generate human-like text. For example, I’ve seen claims that OpenAI’s GPT-3 or ChatGPT can write essays, YouTube scripts or blog posts, and even sit a bar exam.
What are artificial neural networks and how do they learn? What do we use them for? What are some examples of artificial neural networks? How do we use neural networks?
We designed the Clinical Trial Risk Tool, a clinical trial risk assessment tool using AI and NLP to quantify the risk of a trial ending uninformatively. Get in touch with us if you need custom AI strategy consulting for healthcare.

A tour of the challenges you encounter when using natural language processing on multilingual data. Most of the projects that I take on involve unstructured text data in English only, but recently I have seen more and more projects involving text in different languages, often all mixed together. This makes for a fun challenge.
Do you need to compare questionnaire data across studies? Are the items inconsistent, or are there different versions of the same questionnaire floating around? Do you have questionnaires written in different languages that you would like to compare?
We have been developing a tool using Natural Language Processing which is designed to help researchers in the social sciences to harmonise datasets from different contexts. This is part of a wider project called Harmony which is part of an entry we are making to the Wellcome Mental Health Data Prize, together with the Centre for Longitudinal Studies at UCL, Ulster University and Universidade Federal de Santa Maria in Brazil.
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!
