Which of the following is a technique commonly used in NLP for understanding the meaning of words and phrases?

  1. Word embedding

  2. Syntax analysis

  3. Discourse analysis

  4. Pragmatics


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Word embedding is a technique used in NLP to represent words and phrases as vectors of real numbers, capturing their semantic meaning and relationships.

What is the role of context in natural language understanding?

  1. Context provides additional information that helps disambiguate the meaning of words and phrases.

  2. Context is irrelevant in natural language understanding, as words have fixed meanings.

  3. Context can be ignored as long as the syntax of a sentence is correct.

  4. Context is only important for understanding figurative language.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Context plays a crucial role in natural language understanding, as it provides additional information that helps disambiguate the meaning of words and phrases.

Which of the following is an example of a generative language model?

  1. BERT

  2. GPT-3

  3. ELMo

  4. Word2Vec


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

GPT-3 is a large-scale generative language model developed by Google. It is capable of generating human-like text, translating languages, answering questions, and performing various other language-related tasks.

What is the primary challenge in developing AI systems that can understand and generate natural language?

  1. The complexity and ambiguity of natural language.
