Class 7 AI: AI Domains – Questions and Answers

The Class 7 AI Domains chapter explains the main kinds of AI tasks: classification (sorting into labels), regression (predicting a number), clustering (finding groups without labels), computer vision (understanding images) and natural language processing (understanding text and speech). Students learn to match a real problem to the right domain.

[ WORKED EXAMPLE ]

An app predicts tomorrow’s temperature as a number, such as 31°C. Which type of AI task is this?

Answer: Regression.

  1. The output is a number on a scale, not a category.
  2. Predicting a number is regression.
  3. Classification would answer with a label like “hot” or “cold”.

What this chapter is about

Students meet the families of AI tasks and the kind of answer each one gives: a label, a number, a group, an understanding of an image, or an understanding of language.

The CT skill is abstraction: ignore the surface story (cricket, crops, shopping) and ask what the output looks like.

Telling classification from clustering is the trickiest step: classification learns from labelled examples, clustering finds groups on its own.

        Q1An app predicts tomorrow’s temperature as a number, such as 31°C. Which type of AI task is this?
        • Classification
        • Regression
        • Clustering
        • Computer vision

        Answer: B. Regression

        Hint: Is the answer a label or a number?

        1. The output is a number on a scale, not a category.
        2. Predicting a number is regression.
        3. Classification would answer with a label like “hot” or “cold”.

        Q2An email service puts each message into “spam” or “not spam”. Which type of task is this?
        • Classification
        • Regression
        • Clustering
        • Robotics

        Answer: A. Classification

        Hint: How many possible answers are there, and are they labels?

        1. There are two labels: spam and not spam.
        2. Choosing a label for each item is classification.
        3. The model learned from emails already labelled by people.

        Q3A shop groups its customers by shopping habits, but nobody has labelled the groups in advance. Which task is this?
        • Classification
        • Regression
        • Clustering
        • Translation

        Answer: C. Clustering

        Hint: No labels exist yet. The AI must find the groups itself.

        1. Classification needs labelled examples; here there are none.
        2. The AI finds customers who are similar and puts them together.
        3. Finding groups without labels is clustering.

        Q4A camera at a toll plaza reads vehicle number plates. Which AI domain is this?
        • Natural language processing
        • Computer vision
        • Regression
        • Clustering

        Answer: B. Computer vision

        Hint: What does the AI have to look at?

        1. The input is a camera image.
        2. Understanding images and video is computer vision.
        3. It finds the plate in the image and reads the characters.

        Q5A chatbot understands a question typed in Hindi and replies. Which AI domain is this?
        • Computer vision
        • Natural language processing
        • Clustering
        • Regression

        Answer: B. Natural language processing

        Hint: The input is human language.

        1. The chatbot must understand words and sentences.
        2. Working with text and speech is natural language processing (NLP).
        3. It then writes a reply in natural language.

        Q6What is the key difference between classification and clustering?
        • Classification learns from labelled examples; clustering finds groups without labels
        • Clustering always gives a number
        • Classification only works on images
        • There is no difference

        Answer: A. Classification learns from labelled examples; clustering finds groups without labels

        Hint: Think about whether the right answers are known in advance.

        1. In classification, examples come with labels (cat, dog), and the model learns to predict them.
        2. In clustering, no labels are given; the AI groups similar items itself.
        3. So the difference is labelled versus unlabelled data.
