  2. SciPy

  3. TensorFlow

  4. spaCy


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

spaCy is a widely used Python library specifically designed for NLP tasks. It offers a range of features for text processing, including tokenization, part-of-speech tagging, named entity recognition, and dependency parsing.

What is the primary function of a tokenizer in NLP?

  1. Stemming

  2. Lemmatization

  3. POS Tagging

  4. Breaking text into individual units


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A tokenizer's primary function in NLP is to break down text into individual units, such as words or tokens. This process is crucial for further NLP tasks like part-of-speech tagging, named entity recognition, and sentiment analysis.

Which NLP library is known for its strong support for sentiment analysis?

  1. scikit-learn

  2. NLTK

  3. TextBlob

  4. Gensim


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

TextBlob is an NLP library that excels in sentiment analysis tasks. It provides simple and efficient methods for determining the sentiment polarity (positive or negative) of text data.

What is the purpose of stemming in NLP?

  1. Removing stop words

  2. Reducing words to their root form

  3. Identifying named entities

  4. Extracting keyphrases


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Stemming is a technique used in NLP to reduce words to their root form, also known as the stem. This process helps group words with similar meanings together, improving the effectiveness of NLP algorithms.

Which NLP library is commonly used for topic modeling?

  1. PyTorch

  2. Keras

  3. Gensim

  4. Theano


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Gensim is an NLP library that specializes in topic modeling. It provides efficient algorithms for identifying and extracting topics from large collections of text data.

What is the primary goal of named entity recognition (NER) in NLP?

  1. Identifying keyphrases

  2. Extracting sentiment polarity

  3. Recognizing parts of speech

  4. Identifying and classifying named entities


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Named entity recognition (NER) is a fundamental NLP task that aims to identify and classify named entities within text data. These entities can include names of people, organizations, locations, dates, and more.

Which NLP library is known for its extensive support for machine learning algorithms?

  1. spaCy

  2. NLTK

  3. scikit-learn

  4. Keras


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

scikit-learn is an extensive machine learning library that offers a wide range of algorithms and tools for NLP tasks. It provides efficient implementations of various machine learning models, including support vector machines (SVMs), decision trees, and Naive Bayes classifiers.

What is the purpose of part-of-speech (POS) tagging in NLP?

  1. Identifying named entities

  2. Extracting keyphrases

  3. Assigning grammatical roles to words

  4. Determining sentiment polarity


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Part-of-speech (POS) tagging is a fundamental NLP task that assigns grammatical roles (e.g., noun, verb, adjective) to words in a sentence. This information is crucial for understanding the structure and meaning of text.

Which NLP library is primarily designed for working with large-scale text data?

  1. spaCy

  2. NLTK

  3. Gensim

  4. Hugging Face Transformers


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Hugging Face Transformers is a powerful NLP library specifically designed for working with large-scale text data. It provides state-of-the-art transformer-based models for various NLP tasks, including text classification, question answering, and natural language generation.

What is the primary function of a stop word list in NLP?

  1. Identifying keyphrases

  2. Extracting named entities

  3. Removing common and unimportant words

  4. Assigning grammatical roles to words


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A stop word list consists of common and unimportant words that are typically removed during text preprocessing. This helps reduce the dimensionality of the text data and improve the efficiency of NLP algorithms.

Which NLP library is known for its focus on neural network-based approaches?

  1. spaCy

  2. NLTK

  3. Keras

  4. PyTorch


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Keras is a high-level neural networks API, written in Python, capable of running on top of TensorFlow or Theano. It is designed to make building and training deep learning models as easy as possible.

What is the purpose of lemmatization in NLP?

  1. Identifying named entities

  2. Extracting keyphrases

  3. Reducing words to their root form

  4. Assigning grammatical roles to words


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Lemmatization is a process in NLP that reduces words to their base or root form, known as the lemma. This helps group words with similar meanings together, improving the accuracy of NLP algorithms.

Which NLP library is commonly used for natural language generation (NLG) tasks?

  1. spaCy

  2. NLTK

  3. TextBlob

  4. OpenAI GPT-3


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

OpenAI GPT-3 is a large-scale language model developed by OpenAI, known for its impressive natural language generation capabilities. It can generate coherent and human-like text, making it useful for various NLG tasks such as text summarization, dialogue generation, and machine translation.

What is the primary function of a keyphrase extraction algorithm in NLP?

  1. Identifying named entities

  2. Extracting keyphrases

  3. Reducing words to their root form

  4. Assigning grammatical roles to words


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A keyphrase extraction algorithm in NLP aims to identify and extract the most important and informative phrases from a given text. These keyphrases provide a concise summary of the main concepts and ideas discussed in the text.

Which NLP library is known for its comprehensive support for natural language understanding (NLU) tasks?

  1. spaCy

  2. NLTK

  3. Hugging Face Transformers
