Violence risk assessment is an important and challenging task undertaken by mental health professionals and others, in both clinical and nonclinical settings. To date, computational linguistic techniques have not been used in the risk assessment process. However they could contribute to the current threat assessment process by allowing for early detection of elevated risk, identification of ris...

Target threat assessment is a key issue in the collaborative attack. To improve the accuracy and usefulness of target threat assessment in the aerial combat, we propose a variant of wavelet neural networks, MWFWNN network, to solve threat assessment. How to select the appropriate wavelet function is difficult when constructing wavelet neural network. This paper proposes a wavelet mother functio...

BACKGROUND Acute stress disorder involves prominent symptoms of threat avoidance. Preliminary cross-sectional data suggest that such threat-avoidance symptoms may also manifest cognitively, as attentional threat avoidance. Confirming these findings in a longitudinal study might provide insights on risk prediction and anxiety prevention in traumatic exposures. METHOD Attention-threat bias and ...
