H13-311_V3.5 Sample Questions Answers

In MindSpore, the neural network structure is defined by inheriting the Cell class, which represents a computational node or a layer in the network. Users can customize the network by overriding the __init__ method (for initializing layers) and the construct method (for defining the forward pass of the network). This modular design allows for easy and flexible neural network construction.

Thus, the statement is true because MindSpore's framework allows developers to build neural networks by extending the Cell class and defining custom behavior through the __init__ and construct methods.

Computer vision, a subfield of AI, has various application scenarios that involve the analysis and understanding of images and videos. Some key application scenarios include:

Video action analysis: Identifying and analyzing human actions or movements in videos.

Image search: Using visual information to search for similar images in large databases.

Smart albums: Organizing and categorizing photos using AI-based image recognition algorithms to group them by themes, people, or events.

Voice navigation is a part of natural language processing and speech recognition, not computer vision.

The general quantum algorithms include:

A. HHL algorithm (Harrow-Hassidim-Lloyd): An algorithm designed for solving systems of linear equations using quantum computers.

B. Shor algorithm: A quantum algorithm for factoring large integers efficiently, which is important in cryptography.

C. Grover algorithm: A quantum search algorithm used for unstructured database search, providing a quadratic speedup over classical search algorithms.

The A search algorithm* is not a quantum algorithm; it is a classical algorithm used for finding the shortest path in a graph. Therefore, D is incorrect.

The global gradient descent algorithm evaluates the gradient over the entire dataset before each update, leading to accurate but slow convergence, especially for large datasets. In contrast, stochastic gradient descent updates the model parameters more frequently, which allows for faster convergence but with noisier updates. While batch gradient descent updates the parameters based on smaller batches of data, none of these algorithms can fully guarantee finding the global minimum in non-convex problems, where local minima may exist.

In standard Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), the Tanh activation function is commonly used in the hidden layers. The Tanh function squashes input values to a range between -1 and 1, allowing the network to learn complex patterns over time by transforming the input data into non-linear patterns.

While other activation functions like Sigmoid can be used, Tanh is preferred in many RNNs for its wider range. ReLU is generally used in feed-forward networks, and Softmax is often applied in the output layer for classification problems.

In a fully-connected layer, the number of parameters is calculated by multiplying the number of input features by the number of neurons in the hidden layer. For an image of resolution 100×100=10,000100 \times 100 = 10,000100×100=10,000 pixels and a hidden layer of 1,000 neurons, the total number of parameters is 10,000×1,000=1,000,00010,000 \times 1,000 = 1,000,00010,000×1,000=1,000,000.

In MindSpore, when you define a tensor using Tensor(np.array([[1, 2], [3, 4]]), dtype.int32), the dtype attribute returns the data type of the tensor, which in this case is mindspore.int32. This specifies the type of elements in the tensor.

This statement is false because not all feedforward neural networks follow this architecture. While fully-connected layers do have this type of connectivity (where each neuron is connected to all neurons in the previous layer), feedforward networks can include layers like convolutional layers, where not every neuron is connected to all previous neurons. Convolutional layers, common in convolutional neural networks (CNNs), only connect to a local region of the input, preserving spatial information.

The gradient descent method is a core optimization technique in machine learning, particularly for neural networks and deep learning models. The common gradient descent methods include:

Batch Gradient Descent (BGD): Updates the model parameters after computing the gradients from the entire dataset.

Mini-batch Gradient Descent (MBGD): Updates the model parameters using a small batch of data, combining the benefits of both batch and stochastic gradient descent.

Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD): Updates the model parameters for each individual data point, leading to faster but noisier updates.

Multi-dimensional gradient descent is not a recognized method in AI or machine learning.

AI is not limited to just computer vision and speech processing. In addition to these fields, AI encompasses other important areas such as natural language processing (NLP), robotics, smart finance, autonomous driving, and more. Natural language processing focuses on understanding and generating human language, while other fields apply AI to various industries and applications such as healthcare, finance, and manufacturing. AI is a broad field with numerous application areas.

In machine learning, hyperparameters are the parameters that govern the learning process and are not learned from the data. Hyperparameter optimization or hyperparameter tuning is a critical part of improving a model's performance. The goal of a hyperparameter-based search is to find the set of hyperparameters that maximizes the model's performance on a given dataset.

There are different techniques for hyperparameter tuning, such as grid search, random search, and more advanced methods like Bayesian optimization. The performance of the model is assessed based on evaluation metrics (like accuracy, precision, recall, etc.), and the hyperparameters are adjusted accordingly to achieve the best performance.

In Huawei's HCIA AI curriculum, hyperparameter optimization is discussed in relation to both traditional machine learning models and deep learning frameworks. The course emphasizes the importance of selecting appropriate hyperparameters and demonstrates how frameworks such as TensorFlow and Huawei's ModelArts platform can facilitate hyperparameter searches to optimize models efficiently.

AI inference chips are generally simpler than training chips because inference involves running a trained model on new data, which requires fewer computations compared to the training phase. Training chips need to perform more complex tasks like backpropagation, gradient calculations, and frequent parameter updates. Inference, on the other hand, mostly involves forward pass computations, making inference chips optimized for speed and efficiency but not necessarily more complex than training chips.

Thus, the statement is false because inference chips are optimized for simpler tasks compared to training chips.

Deep Learning Overview: Explains the distinction between the processes of training and inference, and how hardware is optimized accordingly.

Feedforward neural networks (FNNs) are networks where information moves in only one direction—forward—from the input nodes through hidden layers to the output nodes. Both fully-connected neural networks (where each neuron in one layer connects to every neuron in the next) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) (which have a specific architecture for image data) are examples of feedforward networks.

However, recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and Boltzmann machines are not feedforward networks. RNNs include loops where information can be fed back into previous layers, and Boltzmann machines involve undirected connections between units, making them a form of a stochastic network rather than a feedforward structure.

As the model complexity increases (for example, by adding more layers to a neural network or increasing the depth of a decision tree), the training error tends to decrease. This is because more complex models are able to fit the training data better, possibly even capturing noise. However, increasing complexity often leads to overfitting, where the model performs well on the training data but poorly on unseen test data.

The relationship between model complexity and performance is covered extensively in Huawei HCIA AI's discussion of overfitting and underfitting and how model generalization is affected by increasing model complexity.

Activation functions like Sigmoid, tanh, and softsign suffer from the vanishing gradient problem when used in deep networks. This happens because, in these functions, gradients become very small as the input moves away from the origin (either positively or negatively). As a result, the weights of the earlier layers in the network receive very small updates, hindering the learning process in deep networks. This is one reason why activation functions like ReLU, which avoid this issue, are often preferred in deep learning.
