  1. What is the key difference between ELMo and earlier embeddings like Word2Vec?
    • ELMo gives the same word different vectors depending on its sentence context
    • ELMo uses smaller vectors
    • ELMo only works on single words, not sentences
    • ELMo requires no training data
  2. What neural architecture does ELMo use to read text?
    • A Transformer with self-attention
    • A deep bidirectional LSTM language model
    • A convolutional image network
    • A simple feedforward network
  3. How does ELMo combine its internal layers for a downstream task?
    • It uses only the final top layer
    • It averages all layers equally and fixes the result
    • It uses learned, task-specific weighted combinations of all layers
    • It picks one layer at random each time
  4. What does ELMo use as its input units to handle unseen words?
    • Whole-word lookup only
    • Fixed dictionary IDs
    • Byte-pair-encoded subwords from BERT
    • Character-level CNN representations
  5. Roughly when was ELMo introduced and by whom?
    • 2018, by Allen Institute for AI researchers
    • 2013, by Google's Word2Vec team
    • 2020, by OpenAI
    • 2015, by Facebook AI
  6. Which corpus was used to train the bidirectional language model described in the ELMo paper?
    • The One Billion Word Benchmark
    • The Penn Treebank only
    • A corpus of labeled images
    • The GloVe Common Crawl vectors
  7. What language-model prediction does ELMo's forward LSTM learn?
    • Predicting the previous word from future context
    • Assigning a fixed vector to every document
    • Predicting the next word from the preceding context
    • Predicting a sentence's image resolution
  8. What linguistic information do ELMo's lower and higher LSTM layers tend to capture?
    • Lower layers encode image color, while higher layers encode audio pitch
    • Every layer stores only word frequency and ignores context
    • Higher layers are always limited to punctuation prediction
    • Lower layers tend toward syntax, while higher layers capture more context-dependent semantics
