Question 2

Which THREE actions can be performed using the Azure Custom Vision service?

Accepted Answer

Export a trained model to ONNX format for offline inference.. Option B is correct because Azure Custom Vision supports exporting trained models in several formats, including ONNX, TensorFlow, CoreML, and Docker, enabling offline or edge inference. Option C is correct because Custom Vision is designed for image classification, allowing you to train a model that assigns images to labeled classes such as product types. Option D is correct because Custom Vision also supports object detection, which returns bounding boxes and labels for multiple objects within an image. Option A is not correct because extracting text from scanned receipts is an OCR task handled by Azure AI Vision (Computer Vision Read API) or Document Intelligence, not Custom Vision. Option E is not correct because identifying specific individuals via facial recognition is provided by Azure AI Face, not Custom Vision.

Answer

Extract text from scanned receipts.

Answer

Identify specific individuals in a crowd using facial recognition.

Question 3

Which TWO of the following are best practices for securing Azure AI services?

Accepted Answer

Enable diagnostic settings to audit usage and detect anomalies.. Option C is correct because enabling diagnostic settings on Azure AI services streams resource logs and metrics to destinations such as Log Analytics, Azure Storage, or Event Hubs, which supports auditing usage, monitoring for anomalies, and meeting compliance requirements. Option E is correct because managed identities let applications authenticate to Azure AI services via Microsoft Entra ID tokens, eliminating the need to store or rotate API keys in code or configuration. Option A is incorrect since publicly exposing endpoints increases the attack surface; access should be restricted with private endpoints, network ACLs, or Azure Private Link. Option B is incorrect because disabling diagnostic logging removes the audit trail needed to detect misuse and investigate incidents. Option D is incorrect because sharing API keys across applications prevents per-app revocation and least-privilege scoping, so keys should be unique, stored in Key Vault, and rotated regularly.

Answer

Expose endpoints publicly to simplify client access.

Answer

Disable diagnostic logging to reduce data exposure.

Answer

Share API keys among multiple applications for simplicity.

Question 4

A company wants to generate product descriptions for thousands of items using an Azure OpenAI GPT-4 model. They need to ensure the descriptions match a consistent brand voice. Which approach is most efficient and cost-effective?

Accepted Answer

Set a system message with brand voice guidelines and use few-shot examples. Setting a system message with brand voice guidelines and providing few-shot examples allows the GPT-4 model to consistently apply the desired tone and style across all product descriptions without retraining. This approach is efficient and cost-effective as it avoids the high compute and data preparation costs of fine-tuning, while still enabling precise control over output through in-context learning.

Answer

Write a separate prompt for each product category

Answer

Use Azure OpenAI on your data with a vector database of brand guidelines

Answer

Fine-tune a base model on existing product descriptions

Question 5

Refer to the exhibit. A developer runs this PowerShell script to call Azure OpenAI. The script fails with an authentication error. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The script uses the wrong HTTP header; it should use 'api-key' instead of 'Authorization: Bearer'.. The script uses 'Authorization: Bearer' header, but Azure OpenAI requires the API key to be passed in the 'api-key' header. The 'Authorization: Bearer' header is used for Microsoft Entra ID token-based authentication, not for direct API key authentication. Since the script is using an API key (as indicated by the PowerShell script), the correct header is 'api-key'.

Answer

The script uses the wrong HTTP method; it should use GET.

Answer

The API version is incorrect.

Answer

The endpoint URI is missing the resource name.

Question 6

You need to generate realistic synthetic data using Azure OpenAI Service to train a machine learning model. The data must be diverse and cover edge cases. Which approach should you use?

Accepted Answer

Use prompt engineering with detailed instructions to generate varied examples.. Prompt engineering with detailed instructions allows you to explicitly control the diversity, structure, and edge-case coverage of generated synthetic data without requiring a pre-existing dataset. By crafting system messages and user prompts that specify variations in attributes, formats, and boundary conditions, you can produce a wide range of realistic examples that mimic real-world distributions, which is essential for training robust machine learning models.

Answer

Question 15

You are an Azure AI engineer at Fabrikam Inc. The company has developed a custom vision model using Azure Custom Vision to detect defects on a manufacturing assembly line. The model is deployed as a Docker container to an on-premises edge device using Azure IoT Edge. Recently, the model's inference accuracy has decreased. The operations team reports that the edge device is running low on memory and CPU. The model was trained with images from a specific camera angle, but the camera angle has been changed slightly due to maintenance. You need to improve the model's accuracy. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Retrain the model with new images captured from the current camera angle.. The decrease in accuracy is most likely due to the change in camera angle, which introduces a domain shift between the training images and the new inference images. Retraining the model with images captured from the current camera angle will realign the training data distribution with the production environment, directly addressing the root cause of the accuracy drop. This is a standard practice in Custom Vision when deployment conditions change.

Answer

Upgrade the edge device to have more memory and CPU.

Answer

Reduce the image resolution to lower memory usage.

Answer

Convert the model to use grayscale images.

Question 16

You are building a generative AI application using Azure OpenAI Service. The application must provide factual answers based on your company's internal knowledge base. You need to minimize the risk of the model generating incorrect information (hallucinations). Which approach should you take?

Accepted Answer

Implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with Azure AI Search.. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with Azure AI Search grounds the model's responses in your company's internal knowledge base by retrieving relevant documents in real time and injecting them into the prompt. This reduces hallucinations by ensuring the model generates answers based on retrieved facts rather than relying solely on its parametric memory. Azure AI Search provides vector and hybrid search capabilities that efficiently index and query your documents, making RAG the most effective approach for factual accuracy.

Answer

Fine-tune the model on your company's documents.

Answer

Use few-shot prompting with examples of correct answers.

Answer

Set the max_tokens parameter to a low value.

Question 17

You are a data scientist at a healthcare company. You have deployed a GPT-4 model using Azure OpenAI to answer patient inquiries about medical conditions. The model is configured with temperature=0.3 and max_tokens=200. Recently, the compliance team flagged that some responses contain contradictory information compared to the official medical guidelines. You need to ensure the model's answers align strictly with the provided medical documents (stored as PDFs in Azure Blob Storage). You have access to Azure Cognitive Search and Azure AI Document Intelligence. The solution must minimize hallucinations and not require retraining the model. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Index the medical PDFs into Azure Cognitive Search. Configure the Azure OpenAI deployment to use 'Add your data' pointing to this index. Set the system message to instruct the model to base answers only on the retrieved context.. It uses Azure Cognitive Search to index the medical PDFs and then configures the Azure OpenAI deployment with 'Add your data' to retrieve relevant context from that index at inference time. This retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) approach grounds the model's answers in the official documents without retraining, directly addressing the compliance team's requirement to align responses with the provided guidelines and minimize hallucinations.

Answer

Use prompt engineering to add a system message that tells the model to only answer based on the uploaded PDFs. Keep the current deployment.

Answer

Fine-tune GPT-4 on the medical documents using Azure OpenAI fine-tuning capabilities. Use the fine-tuned model for the chatbot.

Answer

Deploy Azure AI Content Safety to filter responses that contradict guidelines. Set up a custom content filter using a list of approved phrases.

Question 19

You have deployed a chatbot using Azure OpenAI with a system message as shown. The chatbot sometimes provides incorrect answers that are not supported by the sources. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The system message does not guarantee grounding; the model may still hallucinate.. A system message in Azure OpenAI provides instructions and context but does not enforce factual grounding. The model can still generate responses that are not supported by the provided sources (hallucination), especially if the system message is not explicitly designed to restrict the model to only use the given data. Grounding requires additional techniques like retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) or explicit constraints in the prompt.

Answer

Content filters are incorrectly configured, allowing harmful content.

Answer

The data ingestion pipeline has errors, so the sources are not available.

Answer

The temperature parameter is too low, causing repetitive answers.

Question 20

A company is building a chatbot using Azure OpenAI Service to handle customer inquiries. The bot sometimes responds with incorrect or fabricated information. The team wants to ground the model responses using their own product documentation stored in Azure Cognitive Search. Which configuration should they implement?

Accepted Answer

Configure Azure OpenAI on your data with Azure Cognitive Search as the data source.. It directly integrates Azure Cognitive Search as a data source for Azure OpenAI, enabling the model to retrieve and ground its responses in the indexed product documentation. This approach uses a 'retrieve-then-read' pattern where the search results are injected into the prompt, reducing hallucinations by constraining the model's output to verified content.

Answer

Use Azure AI Document Intelligence to extract text and generate embeddings, then store them in a vector database for direct similarity search.

Answer

Fine-tune the GPT model on the product documentation dataset.

Answer

Enable the semantic ranker in Azure Cognitive Search to improve the relevance of search results.
