[All 1Z0-1127-25 Questions]

How does the temperature setting in a decoding algorithm influence the probability distribution over the vocabulary?

AIncreasing the temperature removes the impact of the most likely word.

BDecreasing the temperature broadens the distribution, making less likely words more probable.

CIncreasing the temperature flattens the distribution, allowing for more varied word choices.

DTemperature has no effect on probability distribution; it only changes the speed of decoding.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation=

Temperature adjusts the softmax distribution in decoding. Increasing it (e.g., to 2.0) flattens the curve, giving lower-probability words a better chance, thus increasing diversity---Option C is correct. Option A exaggerates---top words still have impact, just less dominance. Option B is backwards---decreasing temperature sharpens, not broadens. Option D is false---temperature directly alters distribution, not speed. This controls output creativity.

: OCI 2025 Generative AI documentation likely reiterates temperature effects under decoding parameters.

Ah, the age-old temperature dilemma. I'm going with C. Increasing temperature flattens the distribution, allowing for more varied word choices. It's like turning up the heat on a pot of soup - the flavors start to blend together and anything goes!

I see your point, but I still think increasing temperature flattens the distribution and allows for more varied word choices.

I disagree, I believe decreasing the temperature broadens the distribution and makes less likely words more probable.

I think you're onto something with that analogy. Increasing the temperature does make the word choices more varied.

D, definitely D. Temperature has no effect on the probability distribution; it only changes the speed of decoding. I mean, who cares about the probability distribution when you can just decode faster, am I right?

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I'm going to go with B. Decreasing temperature broadens the distribution, making less likely words more probable. Sounds like it makes sense to me.

I think the correct answer is C. Increasing temperature flattens the distribution, allowing for more varied word choices. The temperature setting affects the softmax function, which determines the probability distribution over the vocabulary.
