Sample NLP Practice Questions
Try these questions from our free NLP practice tests. The correct answer and an explanation follow each question.
Why might a tokenizer produce different numbers of tokens for the same English word depending on whether it appears at the start of a sentence or mid-sentence in GPT-style BPE?
- A. Sentence position does not affect tokenization in any tokenizer
- B. GPT-style BPE treats a leading space as part of the token, so 'dog' and ' dog' are different tokens
- C. The tokenizer uses context from surrounding words to re-segment tokens
- D. Capital letters at the start cause an extra token to be emitted
Answer: B. GPT-style BPE treats a leading space as part of the token, so 'dog' and ' dog' are different tokens
GPT tokenizers prepend a space to most words as a prefix (e.g., 'Ġdog'), distinguishing a word at the start of a sentence from a mid-sentence occurrence.
What is the 'Pointwise Mutual Information' (PMI) method used for in sentiment analysis?
- A. Measuring sentence perplexity in language models
- B. Estimating semantic orientation of phrases by comparing co-occurrence with positive vs. negative seed words
- C. Computing similarity between two sentiment lexicons
- D. Evaluating the precision of sentiment classifiers
Answer: B. Estimating semantic orientation of phrases by comparing co-occurrence with positive vs. negative seed words
PMI measures how much more often a phrase co-occurs with positive seed words versus negative ones to estimate its sentiment orientation.
What is a 'sentence embedding,' and how does it differ from averaging individual word embeddings?
- A. A sentence embedding is a single vector representing the whole sentence's meaning, often capturing word order and composition that simple averaging ignores
- B. Sentence embeddings are identical to averaged word embeddings but stored as sparse vectors
- C. Sentence embeddings concatenate all word vectors into a single long vector
- D. Sentence embeddings are obtained by taking the maximum word vector component-wise
Answer: A. A sentence embedding is a single vector representing the whole sentence's meaning, often capturing word order and composition that simple averaging ignores
Models like Sentence-BERT produce sentence embeddings via fine-tuned transformers that encode word order and inter-word relationships, unlike naive averaging which is order-invariant.
Which post-editing metric measures the minimum number of edit operations needed to correct an MT output into an acceptable translation?
- A. BLEU
- B. METEOR
- C. TER (Translation Edit Rate)
- D. chrF
Answer: C. TER (Translation Edit Rate)
TER counts the number of shifts, insertions, deletions, and substitutions needed to convert the MT hypothesis into a reference translation.
