Task 3 (Text Generation):
a) What is tokenization?
Basically, tokenization deals with the segmenting process of a whole text into minimal units such
as words, subwords, and/or even characters for a machine to work on (Islam et al., 2021).
b) Why do we need to tokenize the input text?
Text tokenization is essential because neural networks can’t process raw text directly. It converts
text into numerical sequences that machines can understand and process (Islam et al., 2021).
c) How can we tokenize the input text?
Word-based tokenization: Splitting by spaces or punctuation.
Subword tokenization: Methods like BPE (Byte Pair Encoding) or WordPiece.
Character-based tokenization: Splitting text into individual characters.
Sentence tokenization: Dividing text into sentences (Islam et al., 2021).
Task 4: NLP and Sequence Models
a) What is Natural Language Processing (NLP)?
Natural Language Processing alludes to a technique of using computational methods to make
computers generate and comprehend human languages (Min et al., 2023).
b) Sequence Models in Deep Learning:
Sequence models process data where order matters, like text or time series. They maintain
context across inputs, essential for understanding language structure and meaning.
c) Sequence Model Types:
One-to-One: Single input to single output (e.g., standard classification tasks).
One-to-Many: Single input generating multiple outputs (e.g., image captioning).
3
Many-to-One: Multiple inputs producing a single output (e.g., sentiment analysis)..
Many-to-Many: Multiple inputs generating multiple outputs (e.g., language translation) (Smith
et al., 2022).
Task 6: Image Generation Challenges
a) Diffusion Model Challenges:
High Computational Cost: Training and inference require significant computational resources
due to the iterative denoising process.
Slow Generation Speed: Diffusion models are slower compared to GANs because of their
sequential denoising nature (Huang et al., 2024).
b) Conditional GAN Operation:
Conditional GANs incorporate additional input (e.g., labels or conditions) alongside random
noise to control generation. The discriminator evaluates both the generated image and the
conditioning information, enabling targeted content generation.
Task 7: Advanced GenAI Concepts
a) Parallelization:
Parallelization is the process of splitting computations across multiple processors or GPUs to
perform tasks simultaneously, increasing efficiency and speed (Luitse and Denkena 2021).
b) End-to-End Deep Learning:
The system processes raw input directly to the desired output without manual feature engineering
and learns all transformations automatically (Qi et al., 2023).
c) Video Generation Challenges:
Temporal Consistency: Ensuring realistic motion and seamless transitions across frames while
maintaining coherence.
4
High Computational Requirements: Generating multiple frames while preserving spatialtemporal relationships demands significant resources.
