Question 1 |

13 running on a parallel track is y meters in length, and running at b meters per
second. The time t taken for train A to cross a man sitting in train 13:
Is indeterminate due to missing information | |
Question 2 |
Which of the following is not the name of a DNN (deep lleural network):
VGG16 | |
Neocognitron | |
Alexnet | |

Question 3 |
A nOn-linear function is required to "saturate" the sum of weighted inputs (here
we use variable x) when being used in a unit activation function for DNN. Which
of the following activation functions does not saturate for all x.
y(x) = tanh x | |
Question 4 |

Question 5 |
Answer the questions Q. 5 to Q. 8 by reading the passage given below.
The problem of sorting a mass of items, occupying consecutive locations in the store of a computer, may be reduced to that of sorting two lesser segments of data, provided that it is known that the keys of each of the items held in locations lower than a certain dividing line are less than the keys of all the items held ill locations above the dividing line. In this case the two segments may be sorted separately, and as a result the whole mass of data will be sorted.
In practice, the existence of such a dividing line will be rare, but even if it did exist, and its position would be unknown. It is, however, quite easy to rearrange the items in such a way that a dividing line is brought into existence, and its position is known. The method of doing this h&<; been given the name partition.
The first step of the partition process is to choose a particular key value which is known to be within the range of keys of the items in the segment which is to be sorted. A simple method of ensuring this is to choose the actual key value of one of the items in the segment. The chosen key value will be called the bound. The aim is now to produce a situation in which the keys of all the items above the dividing line are equal to or greater than the bound. Fortunately, we do not need to know the position of the dividing line in advance; its position is determined only at the end of the partition process.
What sorting algorithm is described in the passage above?
