Preview every question8 questions

Answers and explanations appear as you take the quiz.

  1. What does a lower FID score indicate?
    • The generated images' statistics are closer to those of real images
    • The generated images are less realistic
    • The model trained for fewer epochs
    • The images have higher resolution
  2. Which pretrained network does standard FID use to extract image features?
    • ResNet-50
    • Inception-v3
    • VGG-16
    • BERT
  3. How does FID summarize each set of image features before comparing them?
    • As a single average pixel value
    • As a sorted list of file names
    • As a multivariate Gaussian with a mean vector and covariance matrix
    • As a histogram of color channels only
  4. What key shortcoming of the Inception Score did FID address?
    • Inception Score was too slow to compute
    • Inception Score only worked on text
    • Inception Score required no neural network
    • Inception Score never compared generated images to real data
  5. When a generator produces less varied Inception features than the real images, how can that affect FID?
    • A covariance mismatch can contribute to a higher FID
    • FID must become zero
    • FID ignores feature diversity
    • FID automatically identifies the exact cause of the collapse
  6. In the Diffusion Models Beat GANs comparison, how was FID evaluated for ImageNet?
    • With 500 generated samples
    • With 50,000 generated samples
    • With 5,000 generated samples
    • With 5 million generated samples
  7. Why can a small evaluation set make an FID estimate unreliable?
    • FID requires every image to have a human label
    • The Inception network stops extracting features on small sets
    • Finite-sample bias can distort the estimated distance between feature distributions
    • Small sets force all covariance values to zero
  8. What does Kernel Inception Distance (KID) offer as an alternative in the guide?
    • A method for training the Inception-v3 network
    • A way to generate image captions
    • A measure of video frame rate
    • A metric used for evaluation when sample counts are smaller
