Question 1

+3 marksOne correct option

Why might accuracy be a misleading metric for evaluating POS tagging systems in cases of class imbalance?

  1. A

    Because accuracy does not account for the number of true negatives.

  2. B

    Because accuracy gives equal weight to all classes, even if some tags are much rarer than others.

  3. C

    Because accuracy only measures the precision of the system, ignoring recall.

  4. D

    Because accuracy is not affected by the number of false positives and false negatives.

Question 2

+3 marksOne correct option

In stochastic POS tagging, why is it necessary to calculate both individual word probabilities and tag sequence probabilities?

  1. A

    Individual word probabilities are sufficient for accurate tagging, and tag sequence probabilities are redundant.

  2. B

    Individual word probabilities are only used for rare words, while tag sequence probabilities are used for common words.

  3. C

    Tag sequence probabilities help in determining the most likely sequence of tags, while individual word probabilities provide local context.

  4. D

    Both probabilities are used to reduce the computational complexity of the tagging process.

Question 3

+3 marksOne correct option

How does Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) differ from standard parametric models like GPT-3?

  1. A

    RAG eliminates the need for transformer-based token generation.

  2. B

    RAG uses retrieval but does not update its knowledge dynamically over time.

  3. C

    RAG only works when trained on labeled question-answer datasets.

  4. D

    RAG retrieves external documents dynamically, reducing reliance on pre- trained knowledge.
