Forensic Assessment of Child Abuse Testimony Validity
Assessing Credibility and Validity in Child Testimony
The assessment of findings under testimony focuses on two primary aspects:
Defining Credibility and Validity
- Credibility: Whether it can be concluded that the child, based on their story and other gathered evidence, was subject to abuse by the alleged perpetrators.
- Validity: Refers to the accuracy of the details of the abuse, the extent to which the reported experience may be lower than what was actually experienced, and the degree to which certain

1. Geometric Models
Geometric models represent data as points in a multidimensional space. Learning involves finding geometric structures like hyperplanes, clusters, or nearest neighbors that can separate or classify the data. These models rely on the distance between data points, vector spaces, and geometric transformations.
- Examples: Linear Classifiers (Perceptron, Logistic Regression, SVM), Nearest Neighbor Classifiers (k-NN), Clustering Models (K-means)
