Consider the task of Named-Entity Recognition where for each word in a sentence, we want to classify each word as either a person, organization, location, or none. The input is a sentence containing n words. State how an RNN would run at test time (not training time) to do this task by answering the following:   How many outputs (i.e. number of times the softmax y(t) is called) will the RNN have? If the number of outputs is not knowable, state it as arbitrary and explain why.    What would be the output dimension of each softmax?

Identify & React, a prominent threat analysis group, identified an approach used for nation-state attacks. The hackers set up a cybersecurity blog in an attempt to build credibility with potential targets. In the blog, the hackers focused on vulnerabilities that were actually already public. The hackers then created a series of social media accounts linked to the blog. The hackers, posing as the authors of the blog, reached out to security researchers, asking them to collaborate on their work. When the security researchers responded, the hackers sent these researchers Visual Studio Projects software containing malware, which infect the researchers’ computers. This type of threat to online privacy is known as:

Kai Kaiwi, a resident of San Diego, California, purchased a plane ticket from Comfortable Airlines. The flight was scheduled to leave from San Diego and arrive in Honolulu, Hawaii, on December 31, 2025. Kai later decided to change the flight to the next day – January 1, 2026. When Kai contacted Comfortable Airlines to make the adjustment to his reservation, he learned for the first time that Comfortable Airlines used a company named SelectNow to do the real-time seat assignments for their customers, including Kai’s seat assignment on both the December 31 and January 1 flights.

What defense is Comfortable Airlines likely to assert?
