EQG-RACE: Examination-Type Question Generation

A Question of Race

IN the "Lancet" of 17th October, 1942, it was shown by Ridehalgh that Irish nurses seemed to be more susceptible to tuberculosis than those of Great Britain; this was followed by a leading article on 31st October, 1942, on Tuberculosis in Eire. Again attention was called to the apparent susceptibility of the inhabitants of Ireland to tuberculosis. This is a subject which has interested me since...

Question Generation for Question Answering

This paper presents how to generate questions from given passages using neural networks, where large scale QA pairs are automatically crawled and processed from Community-QA website, and used as training data. The contribution of the paper is 2-fold: First, two types of question generation approaches are proposed, one is a retrieval-based method using convolution neural network (CNN), the other...

The Question of Asthma and Race

Good Question! Statistical Ranking for Question Generation

We address the challenge of automatically generating questions from reading materials for educational practice and assessment. Our approach is to overgenerate questions, then rank them. We use manually written rules to perform a sequence of general purpose syntactic transformations (e.g., subject-auxiliary inversion) to turn declarative sentences into questions. These questions are then ranked ...

Question Paraphrase Generation for Question Answering System

The queries to a practical Question Answering (QA) system range from keywords, phrases, badly written questions, and occasionally grammatically perfect questions. Among different kinds of question analysis approaches, the pattern matching works well in analyzing such queries. It is costly to build this pattern matching module because tremendous manual labor is needed to expand its coverage to s...
