following questions in the context of a potential question-answering
application.
- What sort of knowledge is required to process the sentence so that
one can properly identify the location of the elephant? How would this
knowledge be used? Give an illustrative example.
- Suppose we use word embeddings to encode words. Give a variation
of the above sentence that could also be processed, when using word
embeddings. What are the benefits of using word embeddings in this
context?
- The word "shot" has several meanings. How can NN trained models be
used to identify the appropriate meaning of the word shot?
- Consider the benefits of producing a parse tree for a
sentence. What are some of the things that can be inferred from a
parse tree, given the sentence above?
- In general, what are the benefits and drawbacks of NN? Justify
your response.
- In general, what are the benefits and drawbacks of classical,
symbol-based techniques? Justify your response.
