This document is a detailed and updated exam prep guide for CS7643 – Deep Learning (Exam 4), tailored for the 2025/2026 academic year at Georgia Tech. It features 100+ fully answered questions focused on Natural Language Processing (NLP), representation learning, and advanced neural network architectures such as RNNs, LSTMs, Word2Vec, and Graph Embeddings. The material covers the theoretical foundations and practical implementations of sequential models, word representations, and embedding techniques used in modern machine learning and NLP tasks. All questions are matched with verified answers, making it an ideal study tool for deep learning midterms or finals. Core topics include: RNNs and LSTMs: architectures, update rules, vanishing/exploding gradients, gated mechanisms Word Embeddings: Word2Vec, Skip-gram, CBOW, negative sampling, hierarchical softmax Graph Embeddings: unsupervised learning on graphs, margin loss, node representation t-SNE, perplexity, and embedding visualization strategies Masked Language Modeling, language model training, and perplexity calculations Teacher forcing, conditional language models, and knowledge distillation techniques Pytorch-BigGraph, structured data propagation, and edge scoring Evaluation methods for embeddings: intrinsic vs. extrinsic Debiasing word embeddings and model compression This exam guide is best suited for: Graduate students enrolled in CS7643 or equivalent AI/NLP courses Learners preparing for final exams, interviews, or project presentations Professionals and researchers needing a refresher in deep NLP and representation learning Educators building exam content or revision sets in advanced machine learning topics Keywords: CS7643, deep learning, NLP, RNN, LSTM, word2vec, graph embeddings, masked language model, t-SNE, skip-gram, CBOW, perplexity, language modeling, PyTorch BigGraph, knowledge distillation, representation learning, Georgia Tech, neural networks, sequence modeling, teacher forcing

Questions with 100% Correct Answers |
Latest Update



Embedding - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔A learned map from entities to vectors that

encodes similarity


Graph Embedding - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Optimize the objective that connected

nodes have more similar embeddings than unconnected nodes.




Task: convert nodes to vectors




- effectively unsupervised learning where nearest neighbors are similar

- these learned vectors are useful for downstream tasks

,Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) pain points for NLP - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔- Cannot

easily support variable-sized sequences as inputs or outputs

- No inherent temporal structure

- No practical way of holding state

- The size of the network grows with the maximum allowed size of the input

or output sequences


Truncated Backpropagation through time - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔- Only

backpropagate a RNN through T time steps


Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔h(t) = activation(U*input

+ V*h(t-1) + bias)

y(t) = activation(W*h(t) + bias)




- activation is typically the logistic function or tanh

- outputs can also simply be h(t)

- family of NN architectures for modeling sequences


Training Vanilla RNN's difficulties - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔- Vanishing gradients

, - Since dx(t)/dx(t-1) = w^t

- if w > 1: exploding gradients

- if w < 1: vanishing gradients


Long Short-Term Memory Network Gates and States - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔- f(t)

= forget gate

- i(t) = input gate

- u(t) = candidate update gate

- o(t) = output gate




- c(t) = cell state

- c(t) = f(t) * c(t - 1) + i(t) * u(t)




- h(t) = hidden state

- h(t) = o(t) * tanh(c(t))


Perplexity(s) - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔= product( 1 / P(w(i) | w(i-1), ...) ) ^ (1 / N)


= b ^ (-1/N sum( log(b) (P(w(i) | w(i-1), ...) ) )
