Which evaluation metric measures the proportion of correct predictions among all predictions?

  1. Accuracy

  2. Precision

  3. Recall

  4. F1-score


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Accuracy is the most straightforward metric, calculated as the ratio of correct predictions to the total number of predictions.

What metric evaluates the proportion of actual positive instances that are correctly identified?

  1. Accuracy

  2. Precision

  3. Recall

  4. F1-score


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Recall, also known as sensitivity, measures the ability of a model to identify true positives.

Which metric combines precision and recall into a single measure?

  1. Accuracy

  2. Precision

  3. Recall

  4. F1-score


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

F1-score is the harmonic mean of precision and recall, providing a balanced assessment of a model's performance.

What metric is commonly used to evaluate language models and measures the average number of bits required to encode a sequence of words?

  1. Accuracy

  2. Precision

  3. Recall

  4. Perplexity


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Perplexity is a measure of how well a language model predicts the next word in a sequence.

Which evaluation metric is specifically designed for assessing the quality of machine-generated text?

  1. Accuracy

  2. Precision

  3. Recall

  4. BLEU


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

BLEU (Bilingual Evaluation Understudy) is a popular metric for evaluating the quality of machine-generated text by comparing it to human-generated references.

What metric is commonly used to evaluate the quality of machine-generated summaries?

  1. Accuracy

  2. Precision

  3. Recall

  4. ROUGE


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

ROUGE (Recall-Oriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation) is a set of metrics specifically designed for evaluating the quality of machine-generated summaries.

Which evaluation metric measures the proportion of correctly predicted positive instances among all predicted positive instances?

  1. Accuracy

  2. Precision

  3. Recall

  4. F1-score


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Precision measures the ability of a model to avoid false positives.

What metric is commonly used to evaluate the performance of named entity recognition models?

  1. Accuracy

  2. Precision

  3. Recall

  4. F1-score


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

F1-score is often used for named entity recognition tasks due to its balanced consideration of precision and recall.

Which evaluation metric is specifically designed for assessing the quality of machine-generated translations?

  1. Accuracy

  2. Precision

  3. Recall

  4. METEOR


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

METEOR (Metric for Evaluation of Translation with Explicit Ordering) is a metric specifically designed for evaluating the quality of machine-generated translations.

What metric is commonly used to evaluate the performance of question answering systems?

  1. Accuracy

  2. Precision

  3. Recall

  4. F1-score


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

F1-score is often used for question answering tasks due to its balanced consideration of precision and recall.

Which evaluation metric measures the proportion of actual positive instances that are correctly identified, while penalizing false positives?

  1. Accuracy

  2. Precision

  3. Recall

  4. F1-score


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

F1-score considers both precision and recall, penalizing models that have high precision but low recall or vice versa.

What metric is commonly used to evaluate the performance of text classification models?

  1. Accuracy

  2. Precision

  3. Recall

  4. F1-score


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

F1-score is often used for text classification tasks due to its balanced consideration of precision and recall.

Which evaluation metric is specifically designed for assessing the quality of machine-generated dialogue?

  1. Accuracy

  2. Precision

  3. Recall

  4. BLEU


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

BLEU is often used for evaluating the quality of machine-generated dialogue due to its ability to measure fluency and coherence.

What metric is commonly used to evaluate the performance of sentiment analysis models?

  1. Accuracy

  2. Precision

  3. Recall

  4. F1-score


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

F1-score is often used for sentiment analysis tasks due to its balanced consideration of precision and recall.
