• Abstract: The article focuses on the urgent issue of femicide in Veracruz, Mexico, and the development of the MFM_FEM_VER_CP_2024 model, a mathematical framework designed to predict femicide risk using fuzzy logic. This model addresses the complexity and uncertainty inherent in gender based violence by formalizing risk factors such as coercive control, dehumanization, and the cycle of violence. These factors are mathematically modeled through membership functions that assess the degree of risk associated with various conditions, including personal relationships and specific acts of violence. The study enhances the original model by incorporating new rules and refining existing membership functions, which significantly improve the model predictive accuracy.

  We focus on how likely it is that a RAG model's prediction is incorrect, resulting in uncontrollable risks in real-world applications. Our research identifies two critical latent factors affecting RAG's confidence in its predictions. We develop a counterfactual prompting framework that induces the models to alter these factors and analyzes the effect on their answers.

• Identifying Risk Patterns in Brazilian Police Reports Preceding Femicides: A Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) Based Analysis [0.0]
  Femicide refers to the killing of a female victim, often perpetrated by an intimate partner or family member, and is also associated with gender-based violence. In this study, we employed the Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) technique to identify patterns of behavior in Brazilian police reports preceding femicides. Our first objective was to classify the content of these reports as indicating either a lower or higher risk of the victim being murdered, achieving an accuracy of 66%. In the second approach, we developed a model to predict the next action a victim might experience within a sequence of patterned events.

  We propose to apply Machine Learning (ML) techniques to create models that accurately predict the recidivism risk of a gender-violence offender. The relevance of this work is threefold: (i) the proposed ML method outperforms the preexisting risk assessment algorithm based on classical statistical techniques, (ii) the study has been conducted through an official specific-purpose database with more than 40,000 reports of gender violence, and (iii) two new quality measures are proposed for assessing the effective police protection that a model supplies and the overload in the invested resources that it generates.
