MMPI is a personality inventory used in the assessment of personality. It is also used as a psychometric test as well as a diagnostic tool by clinical psychologists and counselors. Developed by Hathway & McKinley in the year 1943. It is the second most widely used personality inventory.
The Rotter Incomplete Sentences Blank is a projective psychological test developed by Julian B. Rotter. It comes in three forms (for different age groups) and comprises 40 incomplete sentences usually only 1–2 words long, such as "I regret ..." and "Mostly girls ...".
The Rotter Incomplete Sentences Blank (RISB) is the most frequently used sentence completion test of personality and socioemotional functioning. A performance-based test, the RISB is used to screen for adjustment problems, to facilitate case conceptualization and diagnosis, and to monitor treatment.The Rorschach Inkblot Test, the TAT, the RISB, and the C-TCB are all forms of projective tests.
The Rotter Incomplete Sentences Blank is an attempt to standardize the sentence completion method for the use at college level. Forty items are completed by the subject. These completions are then scored by comparing them against typical items in empirically derived scoring manuals for men and women and by assigning to each response a scale value from 0 to 6. The total score is an index of maladjustment.
The sentence completion method of studying personality is a semi structured projective technique in which the subject is asked to finish a sentence for which the first word or words are supplied. As in other projective devices, it is assumed that the subject reflects his own wishes, desires, fears and attitudes in the sentences he makes. Historically, the incomplete sentence method is related most closely to the word association test. In some test incomplete sentences tests only a single word or brief response is called for; the major differences appears to be in the length of the stimulus. In the sentence completion tests, tendencies to block and to twist the meaning of the stimulus words appear and the responses may be categorized in a somewhat similar fashion to the word association method.
The Incomplete Sentences Blank can be used, of course, for general interpretation with a variety of subjects in much the same manner that a clinician trained in dynamic psychology uses any projective material. However, a feature of ISB is that one can derive a single over-all adjustment score. This over-all adjustment score is of particular value for screening purposes with college students and in experimental studies. The ISB has also been used in a vocational guidance center to select students requiring broader counseling than was usually given, in experimental studies of the effect of psychotherapy and in investigations of the relationship of adjustment to a variety of variables.
At least one in every 20 adults who seeks medical care in a U.S. emergency room or community health clinic may walk away with the wrong diagnosis, according to a new analysis that estimates that 12 million Americans a year could be affected by such errors.
Experts have often downplayed the scope of diagnostic errors not because they were unaware of the problem, but “because they were afraid to open up a can of worms they couldn't close.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

2. What do we mean byAssessment?
• Assessment is the systematic evaluation and
measurement of Psychological, Biological and
Social factors in an individual presenting with a
possible psychological disorder.
3. Diagnosis
• It is a process of determining whether the
particular problem afflicting the individual
meets all the criteria for a Psychological
disorder, as set forth in DSM –IV.
4. Value ofAssessment
• Assessment techniques are subject to a number
of strict requirements.
• Value of Assessment depends on:
• Reliability.
• Validity.
• Standardization.
5. Reliability
• In simple words it is defined as the degree to
which a measurement is consistent.
• To elaborate, Reliability means consistency of
the scores on the same test on different
intervals.
6. Lets understand with this example
• How irritated you would be if you had a
stomach ache, and you went to four competent
physicians and got four different diagnosis and
treatments….. The diagnosis would be
unreliable because two or more raters did not
agree on the conclusion.
7. To be specific…lets look at this
• If you go to a clinician on Tuesday and you are
told that you have an I.Q of 110, you should
expect a similar result if you take the same test
on Thursday (Test- Retest reliability).
8. How do we improve this?
• To improve this , the Psychologist has to
carefully design their assessment devices and
then conduct research on them to ensure that
two or more raters will get the same answers
(Inter reliability).
9. Let’s take this small test on ‘Anger’
• I love partying (Yes/ No).
• I throw things when I am angry (Yes/ No).
• People call me Micky (Yes/ No).
• I love sitting for longer hours on the beach and
listen to music (Yes/ No).
• I cry when I am hurt (Yes/ No).
• Kerala is really God’s own country (Yes/ No).
10. Validity
• In simple words a test is considered to be valid
when it measures what it purports to measure.
• When you compare the result of one assessment
with the result of another assessment, it is
called concurrent or descriptive validity.
11. Validity continue…..
• After the assessment, if you are able to predict
or if it tells you what will happen in the future
is called Predictive validity.
Eg: An I.Q test functions with the goal that who
will succeed in the school and who will not?
12. Standardization
• It is a process by which a certain set of
standards or norms is determined for a
technique in order to make its use consistent
across different measurements.
• These standards also might apply to the
procedures of testing , scoring and evaluating
the data.
13. Standardization….. example
• One test may be given to a large group who
differ on factors such as
age, race, gender, socio- economic status.
• Now if you are an Indian female, 19 years
old, from a middle class background, your test
score should be compared to the scores of
others like you and not to the scores of different
people like 60 years ,African female.
