Draw a Venn Diagram to determine if the following is valid or invalid.  “Everyone who listens to vinyl records is old.  Sky does not listen to vinyl records.  Therefore Sky is not old.” Make sure to label your circles, place one or two x’s on your Venn Diagram, and state whether the argument is valid or invalid.   On your own paper, show all your work to justify your answer.  Leave the box below blank.

A system containing an ideal gas at a constant pressure of 1.42 × 105 Pa gains 2320 J of heat.  During the process, the internal energy of the system increases by 2540 J.  What is the change in volume of the gas?

On a cold day, 24600 J of heat leaks out of a house. The inside temperature is 20 °C, and the outside temperature is -15 °C.What is the increase in the entropy of the universe that this heat loss produces?

Recurrent neural network. Indicate whether each of the following statements is True or False (1 pt each). (a) In an RNN, the same set of weights is applied repeatedly across time steps. [a] (b) LSTMs solve the vanishing gradient problem by leveraging attention mechanisms. [b] (c) A vanilla RNN can perfectly learn long-term dependencies in practice. [c] (d) An RNN can process sequences of different lengths without modification. [d]

Convolutional neural network. Consider the following partially completed program which defines a convolutional neural network. Unless specified, assume zero padding and stride . (a) (3 pts) Suppose we feed this model with an input image tensor of shape 32 x 32 x 3, i.e., an RGB image with height and width of 32 pixels. After the first Conv2d layer (line 7), what is the shape of the output feature map? Height = [a1], Width = [a2], # Channels = [a3]. (b) (2 pts) How many trainable parameters does this Conv2d layer (line 7) have? You may disregard the bias terms. [b] (c) (1 pt) How many trainable parameters does the first max-pooling layer (line 9) have? [c] (d) (1 pt) How many filters/kernels are used in the second Conv2D layer (line 11)? [d] (e) (3 pts) In line 15, nn.Flatten() reshapes the output of the second convolutional block into a vector for each image. The network then passes the vector to fully-connected layers. The code for the first fully-connected layer is missing (line 18). Complete the definition based on the rest of the code. [e] (f) (1 pt) This network is originally design for a classification task with 10 classes. Assume the task later changes to 20 classes. Which line must be changed to reflect this? Line [f]

24. David owns two adjoining parcels of property, Blackacre and Whiteacre. Powerlines crossing the adjacent parcels carry power from Blackacre to Whiteacre. David sells Whiteacre to Steve for industrial use. In order to allow Steve’s use of Whiteacre, at the time of the sale of Whiteacre, David granted Steve access through Blackacre for electric power lines that cross Blackacre. The deed from David to Steve does not refer to the power lines or to Steve’s ability to access them via Blackacre. Over the next six months, Steve spent $25,000 in order to prepare the property for his industrial operations. Over the following year, Steve accessed the power to conduct his operations on Whiteacre through the power lines crossing Blackacre. If David later tries to deny Steve’s ability to access the property, Steve should argue that:

17. Seven years ago, a man conveyed vacant land by warranty deed to a woman, a bona fide purchaser for value. The woman did not record the warranty deed and did not enter into possession of the land.   Five years ago, the man conveyed the same land to a neighbor, also a bona fide purchaser for value, by a quitclaim deed. The neighbor immediately recorded the quitclaim deed and went into possession of the land.   Two years ago, the neighbor conveyed the land to a friend, who had notice of the prior conveyance from the man to the woman. The friend never recorded the deed but went into immediate possession of the land.   The jurisdiction has a notice recording statute and a grantor-grantee index system.   If the woman sues to eject the friend, will the woman be likely to succeed?
