"Fun with Text - Hacking Text Analytics" is a tutorial for beginners to text analytics. It explains how certain text analytics problems can be reduced to one machine learning problem (classification). For instance, it tells you how segmentation tasks can be reduced to classification tasks. The tutorial also explains how a naive bayesian classifier can be crafted in case you don't have one.

This talk is intended to examine result-driven penalization and user reporting designs that members of the Fair Play Alliance including Intel, Riot Games, Tencent Game Security and Two Hat Security have successfully implemented. The talk will include examples that will outline how systems were implemented as well as a look at measurable results from those projects. One underpinning point is to analyze how those best practices can be conducive to reforming player behavior by focusing on providing timely feedback to players, and how penalization practices can be leveraged to produce the desired outcome of fostering productive interactions in games.
This seminar-workshop was developed at the request of Ephesians Publishing Inc. for the Manila Central University teacher training series for elementary school and high school teachers. This was conducted on May 29, 2013.

Improving Writing and Critical Thinking Competence in Psychology: A Primer a...James Tobin, Ph.D.
This manual was composed to support psychology students' ability at the undergraduate and graduate levels to write more effectively in a variety of contexts within academic and applied settings. The primer is not meant to be a comprehensive writing guide, but focuses instead on the core components of scholarly writing, critical thinking, and the formulation and execution of original ideas. The relevance of these competencies for clinical psychology training is emphasized throughout the manual. Exercises are provided to help the instructor and/or student with practice experiences to support the refinement of the ideas and skills presented.
An individual assignment makes up your final grade for the course..docxnettletondevon
An individual assignment makes up your final grade for the course. The assignment consists of a research report which addresses the influence of personality on online social behavior. The assignment will be marked with a 0.1 and counted as an attempt, with no further feedback given, if any plagiarism is found.
This term, describe and analyze how personality affects tourists’ online social behavior from a quantitative perspective. In your literature review you should adopt a funnel approach. In other words, you start out broad by describing what academics consider personality, provide descriptions etc. Next, narrow your discussion and explain to the reader how personality is related to behavior, specifically tourist behavior. Possibly make inferences on how personality could be associated with tourists' online social behavior. Finally, focus on a specific aspect of personality (e.g., sensation seeking) or a wider range of personality traits (e.g., the Big 5) and convince the reader that this aspect is the most interesting predictor for a certain online behavior. It will include:
· Review academic literature;
· Construct relevant research questions;
· To set-up a proper questionnaire;
· To analyze the quantitative data;
· Compare the analysis of the primary data to the literature review;
· Make recommendations based on quantitative research findings;
· Write a professional report according to APA guidelines.
Please do not include all the individually filled out questionnaires in your report. One (not filled out) copy in the appendix will do. The actual survey may be in any language, granted you put an English version in an appendix. You will collect (at least) 40 responses to your questionnaire.
We recommend using one of the following references for the measurement of personality in your survey :
Barnett, L. A. (2007). The Nature of Playfulness in Young Adults. Personality and Individual Differences, 43(4), 949–958.
Gosling, S. D., Rentfrow, P. J., & Jr., W. B. S. (2003). A Very Brief Measure of the Big-Five Personality Domains. Journal of Research in Personality, 37(6), 504–528.

The assignment will be marked with a 0.1 and counted as an attempt, with no further feedback given, if any plagiarism is found. The first page of the report must include the sentence, “I, (your name), have read the plagiarism appendix to the course outline, and I am absolutely certain that my report contains no plagiarism.” Otherwise we will not begin to mark it or give feedback.
The work includes: Literature review, Questionnaire preparati.

Benchmark: Psychological Report Assignment Instructions
Overview
You will write a Psychological Report Assignment based upon four (4) psychological evaluations and information reported in the Initial Interview Assignment and Mental Status Examination (MSE) Assignment. Counselors are commonly required to write a psychological report that presents assessed and observation information about a client. This Psychological Report Assignment will require students to synthesize and report information about the character depicted in the Initial Interview Assignment and Mental Status Examination (MSE) Assignment.
Instructions
· Length of Psychological Report Assignment: 2100-2400 words (not including the title page)
· Format of Psychological Report Assignment: APA for font (Times New Roman, 12 pt.), title page, margins, and section headings
· Number of citations: none
· Acceptable sources: none
Using your character from the Initial Interview Assignment and Mental Status Examination (MSE) Assignment, you will take the assessments with the goal of answering one (1) of the referral questions posted below:
1. Would this examinee be a good candidate for participation in a summer missions trip in a very challenging environment?
2. Would this examinee be a good candidate for Senior Pastor at a large urban church?
3. Would the examinee make a good Resident Assistant (RA) at Liberty University?
Assessment Selection
You will report on four (4) assessments. For one of your assessments, you must use the IPIP-NEO assessment (see Psychological Report Resources for the link). There are two versions (short/long) of the IPIP-NEO assessment. Please use the longer version. Copy and paste the NEO description and chart into the report. This will give you a nice template for writing an assessment description. Once you have the results of the IPIP-NEO, you will plug in your own numbers into the chart.
The three (3) additional tests may come from the assessment listed on Blackboard: Jung Personality Test, Beck Depression Inventory, and the Beck Anxiety Inventory. However, you may select other assessments to replace these assessment. Please make sure that any assessments that you select are designed to provide some of the information needed to answer the referral question. For example, if going on a mission trip is stressful, then you will want to pick an assessment that measures stress; you would not pick one that can be used to diagnose schizophrenia. When you have completed scoring the assessments, begin writing the psychological report.
You may not use the Symptom Questionnaire (SQ); Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scales (DASS) or the Clinical Anxiety Scale (CAS). These assessments are used in the sample paper, so you may not use them in your report. This would be plagiarism.
Please refer to the Psychological Report –Diagnostic Report Sample to ensure that you correctly format your Psychological Report Assignment paper. For this, you will not use A ...
