چکیده

Most of the previous work on cloze prediction focused on grammar testing such as preposition generation. In this paper we explore a different problem on knowledge testing by designing a system to automatically generate blanks for cloze test. We present a cross-document Information Extraction (IE) driven approach, and compare its performance on two different tasks with and without background documents respectively. Experimental results show that compared to traditional approaches, our method can significantly save time for educators in designing high-quality cloze tests. Keywords— cloze generation, cross-document information extraction

Filtering-based automatic cloze test generation

We propose a method to generate high-quality cloze test questions using a computational approach. Previous methods for automatic cloze test generation have contained some problems; specifically, there can be multiple correct answers. We found that approximately 50% of the generated answers have such errors with previous methods, which requires human post-editing was necessary in previous resear...
