What is the primary goal of Natural Language Processing (NLP)?

  1. To enable computers to understand and generate human language.

  2. To develop algorithms for efficient data storage and retrieval.

  3. To create systems for image recognition and object detection.

  4. To design robots with advanced motor skills and navigation capabilities.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

NLP aims to bridge the gap between human language and computer systems, allowing computers to comprehend and respond to natural language input and generate human-like text.

Which of the following is a fundamental task in NLP?

  1. Sentiment Analysis

  2. Image Classification

  3. Speech Recognition

  4. Protein Folding Prediction


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Sentiment Analysis involves determining the emotional tone or opinion expressed in a piece of text, which is a core task in NLP.

What is the process of breaking down a sentence into its constituent parts called?

  1. Parsing

  2. Tokenization

  3. Stemming

  4. Lemmatization


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Parsing is the process of analyzing the grammatical structure of a sentence, identifying its components such as nouns, verbs, and phrases.

Which NLP technique involves reducing words to their base form?

  1. Parsing

  2. Tokenization

  3. Stemming

  4. Lemmatization


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Stemming is a process that reduces words to their root form, removing suffixes and prefixes to obtain the core meaning of the word.

What is the process of assigning appropriate grammatical tags to words in a sentence called?

  1. Parsing

  2. Tokenization

  3. Stemming

  4. Part-of-Speech Tagging


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Part-of-Speech Tagging involves assigning grammatical tags (e.g., noun, verb, adjective) to each word in a sentence.

Which NLP task involves identifying the key concepts or entities mentioned in a text?

  1. Named Entity Recognition

  2. Machine Translation

  3. Question Answering

  4. Summarization


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Named Entity Recognition aims to identify and classify specific entities in a text, such as names of people, organizations, locations, and dates.

What is the task of generating a concise and informative summary of a longer text called?

  1. Named Entity Recognition

  2. Machine Translation

  3. Question Answering

  4. Summarization


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Summarization involves creating a condensed version of a text that captures its main points and key information.

Which NLP technique is used to automatically translate text from one language to another?

  1. Named Entity Recognition

  2. Machine Translation

  3. Question Answering

  4. Summarization


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Machine Translation involves using statistical or neural network models to translate text from one language to another.

What is the task of answering questions based on the information provided in a text called?

  1. Named Entity Recognition

  2. Machine Translation

  3. Question Answering

  4. Summarization


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Question Answering involves developing systems that can automatically answer questions based on the information extracted from a given text.

Which NLP technique is used to generate text that resembles human writing?

  1. Named Entity Recognition

  2. Machine Translation

  3. Question Answering

  4. Natural Language Generation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Natural Language Generation involves using statistical or neural network models to generate human-like text.

What is the process of converting unstructured text into a structured format called?

  1. Information Extraction

  2. Machine Translation

  3. Question Answering

  4. Summarization


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Information Extraction involves extracting structured data from unstructured text, such as names, dates, and locations.

Which NLP technique is used to identify the sentiment or opinion expressed in a piece of text?

  1. Named Entity Recognition

  2. Machine Translation

  3. Question Answering

  4. Sentiment Analysis


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Sentiment Analysis involves determining the emotional tone or opinion expressed in a piece of text.

What is the task of identifying the language of a given text called?

  1. Named Entity Recognition

  2. Machine Translation

  3. Language Identification

  4. Summarization


Correct Option: C
