  1. What is the difference between intent detection and slot filling?
    • Intent finds the overall goal; slots extract specific detail values
    • They are two names for the same task
    • Intent extracts values; slots classify the goal
    • Slots handle audio and intent handles text
  2. In 'Book a flight from Boston to Denver,' what is the intent?
    • Boston
    • book_flight
    • Denver
    • destination
  3. Why is slot filling often framed as sequence labeling with BIO tags?
    • To count the number of words
    • To translate the sentence first
    • To capture multi-word slot values correctly
    • To detect the speaker's emotion
  4. Why do modern systems train intent detection and slot filling jointly?
    • It is required by law
    • Joint training uses less electricity
    • Slots cannot be computed otherwise
    • The tasks are tightly coupled and share useful signal
  5. What role can a CRF layer play on top of slot tags?
    • It enforces valid label sequences between tokens
    • It detects the intent label
    • It translates the utterance
    • It compresses the model size
  6. How can a large language model produce an intent-and-slot result?
    • By eliminating user input
    • By generating structured output such as schema-constrained JSON, with validation still required
    • By using only single-word commands
    • By removing the concepts of intent and slot
  7. What domain does the ATIS benchmark focus on?
    • Music source separation
    • Image inpainting
    • Airline travel information and flight requests
    • Robot navigation
  8. In a multi-turn dialogue, why might a slot-filling system need prior turns?
    • Earlier turns remove the need to identify an intent
    • Slot values can only appear in the first sentence
    • Prior context changes the tokenizer vocabulary
    • A follow-up may omit a value type that earlier context supplies
