Fill both blanks to create a dictionary comprehension that maps each sentence to its summary length.

Prompt Engineering / GenAI
sentences = ["AI is fascinating.", "It can learn patterns.", "Summarization helps understand text."]
summary_lengths = {sentence: len(summarizer(sentence, max_length=10, min_length=5, do_sample=False)[1]) for sentence in sentences if len(sentence) [2] 10}
print(summary_lengths)
Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Fill all three blanks to create a dictionary comprehension that maps each sentence's uppercase form to its summary.

Prompt Engineering / GenAI
sentences = ["AI is cool.", "It learns fast.", "Summarization is useful."]

1. What is the main purpose of text summarization in AI?
easy
A. To count the number of words in a text
B. To translate text into another language
C. To generate new text from scratch
D. To make long text shorter and easier to understand

Solution

  1. Step 1: Understand the goal of summarization

    Summarization aims to reduce the length of text while keeping the main ideas clear.
  2. Step 2: Compare options with the goal

    Only To make long text shorter and easier to understand describes making text shorter and easier to understand, which matches summarization.
  3. Final Answer:

    To make long text shorter and easier to understand -> Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    Summarization = shorten text [OK]
Hint: Summarization shortens text for quick understanding [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Confusing summarization with translation
  • Thinking summarization creates new text
  • Mixing summarization with word counting
2. Which of the following is the correct way to call a summarization model in Python using a fictional API?
easy
A. summary = model.summarize(text)
B. summary = model.translate(text)
C. summary = model.generate(text)
D. summary = model.count_words(text)

Solution

  1. Step 1: Identify the function for summarization

    The function to get a summary should be named something like 'summarize' to match the task.
  2. Step 2: Match function names to tasks

    Only 'model.summarize(text)' fits the summarization task; others do translation, generation, or counting.
  3. Final Answer:

    summary = model.summarize(text) -> Option A
  4. Quick Check:

    Summarize function call = summary = model.summarize(text) [OK]
Hint: Look for 'summarize' function for summarization calls [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Using translate() instead of summarize()
  • Using generate() which creates new text
  • Using count_words() which is unrelated
3. Given the code below, what will be the output?
text = "AI helps us by making complex tasks easier."
summary = model.summarize(text)
print(summary)
Assuming the model works correctly, what is the likely output?
medium
A. "AI simplifies complex tasks."
B. "AI translates text."
C. "AI helps us by making complex tasks easier."
D. "AI counts words in text."

Solution

  1. Step 1: Understand summarization output

    The summary should be a shorter version of the original text keeping the main idea.
  2. Step 2: Compare options to expected summary

    "AI simplifies complex tasks." shortens the sentence while keeping meaning; "AI helps us by making complex tasks easier." is original text, others unrelated.
  3. Final Answer:

    "AI simplifies complex tasks." -> Option A
  4. Quick Check:

    Summary shortens text = "AI simplifies complex tasks." [OK]
Hint: Summary is shorter but keeps main idea [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Thinking summary is the same as original text
  • Confusing summarization with translation
  • Expecting unrelated outputs like word count
4. The following code throws an error. What is the likely cause?
text = "Summarize this text."
summary = model.summarize_text(text)
print(summary)
medium
A. The variable 'text' is not defined
B. The method name 'summarize_text' is incorrect
C. The print statement is missing parentheses
D. The model object is not created

Solution

  1. Step 1: Check method name correctness

    The correct method to summarize is likely 'summarize', not 'summarize_text'.
  2. Step 2: Verify other code parts

    The variable 'text' is defined, print has parentheses, and model object assumed created.
  3. Final Answer:

    The method name 'summarize_text' is incorrect -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Method name must be correct = The method name 'summarize_text' is incorrect [OK]
Hint: Check method names carefully for typos [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Assuming variable 'text' is undefined
  • Forgetting print needs parentheses
  • Ignoring if model object exists
5. You want to summarize a long article but keep important keywords intact. Which approach is best?
hard
A. Use translation model to convert text language
B. Use generative summarization to rewrite text freely
C. Use extractive summarization to select key sentences
D. Use word count to find important words

Solution

  1. Step 1: Understand extractive vs generative summarization

    Extractive picks actual sentences from text, preserving keywords; generative rewrites freely.
  2. Step 2: Choose method to keep keywords intact

    Extractive summarization keeps original sentences and keywords, so it fits the need best.
  3. Final Answer:

    Use extractive summarization to select key sentences -> Option C
  4. Quick Check:

    Keep keywords = extractive summarization [OK]
Hint: Extractive keeps original words; generative rewrites [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Confusing generative with extractive summarization
  • Using translation instead of summarization
  • Relying on word count alone for keywords
