Part B (4*5=20Marks) Answer all Questions
11 Explain direct machine translation. 5 1 2 1 1.6.1

Ans: Using a simple rule structure, direct machine

translation breaks the source sentence into words,
compares them to the inputted dictionary, and then
adjusts the output based on morphology and syntax. This
method is time-intensive, as it requires rules to be
written for every word within the dictionary.
12 Describe the selection restriction in semantic 5 1 2 4 2.2.3
interpretation

Ans: Selectional restrictions place semantic constraints

on arguments and account for the implausibility of sen-
tences such as Colorless green ideas slept furiously.
They have been used in natural language understand- ing
for disambiguation and pronoun resolution.
13 Why is semantic interpretation assumed to be a 5 2 3 4 2.2.3
compositional process

Ans: The central problem of semantic interpretation is

plain: people have no trouble understanding the
 meanings of sentences in their language that they have
never heard before. Thus, it must be possible to
determine the meaning of a novel sentence on the basis
of the meanings of its component parts.
14 Define the following 5 1 3 1 2.2.2
a. Vector space model
b. Term frequency
c. Inverse document frequency

Ans:
Vector space model:
The vector space model is an algebraic model that
represents objects (like text) as vectors. This makes it
easy to determine the similarity between words or the
relevance between a search query and a document.
Cosine similarity is often used to determine the
similarity between vectors.

Term Frequency:
Term frequency (TF) means how often a term occurs in
a document. In the context of natural language, terms
correspond to words or phrases.

Inverse document frequency:

Inverse Document Frequency (IDF) is a weight
indicating how commonly a word is used. The more
frequent its usage across documents, the lower its score.
The lower the score, the less important the word
becomes.

Part C (2*10= 20 Marks) Answer any two Questions

15 Explain text summarization and multiple document text 10 1 2 1 1.6.1
summarization with a neat diagram
Ans: Text summarization is the process of generating a
short, fluent, and most importantly accurate summary of
a longer text document. The main idea behind automatic
text summarization is to be able to find a short subset of
the most essential information from the entire set and
present it in a human-readable format. As online textual
data grows, automatic text summarization methods have
the potential to be very helpful because more useful
information can be read in a short time.

16 Describe different ways of building belief models in a 10 3 3 1 1.7.1

conversational agent

1. Rule-based
2. Retrieval-based
 3. Generative methods
4. Ensemble methods
5. Grounded learning
6. Interactive learning
17 Explain the vector space model of information retrieval 10 4 3 4 1.7.1

Sol:
The Vector Space Model is an algebraic model used for
Information Retrieval. It represents a natural language
document in a formal manner by the use of vectors in a
multi-dimensional space and allows decisions to be
made as to which documents are similar to each other
and to the queries fired.
