The Effects of Question-Generation Techniques on Reading Comprehension
The problem. Can the teaching of question-generation training improve reading comprehension and is there evidence of a successful student transference and a publication of question-generation training in content area subjects? Procedure. The subjects in this study were thirty-one sixth through …

A competency model for semi-automatic question generation in adaptive assessment
… to demonstrate adaptive assessment and automatic generation of questions from a competency model, based on a sound pedagogical and<br/>technological approach. The system’s design and implementation involves an ontological database that represents the intended learning outcome to be assessed across …

Scaling Automatic Question Generation to Large Documents: A Concept-Driven Approach
Assessing and enhancing human learning through question-answering is vital, especially when dealing with large documents, yet automating this process remains challenging. While large language models (LLMs) excel at summarization and answering queries, their ability to generate meaningful questions …

Synonymous question generation: Learning to ask in different ways using variational autoencoders
… advancing machine comprehension of text through question answering. Motivated by the idea that machine comprehension should be bidirectional, we explore synonymous question generation from knowledge graphs (KGs) to enable machines to learn how to ask semantically equivalent natural language …

Implementing a question-generation strategy with bilingual students: exploring the perspectives of a beginning teacher /
… associated with the explicit delivery of questiongeneration strategy with 8 Arab Canadian students from the perspective of a bilingual beginning teacher. This study took place in a private school and involved 2 stages consisting of 9 instructional sessions, and individual interviews with …

Visual questioning agents
Curious questioning or the ability to inquire about surrounding environment or additional context, is an important step towards building agents which go beyond learning from a static knowledge base. The ability to request feedback is the first step in building intelligent agents which can …

QuOTE: Question-Oriented Text Embeddings
We present QuOTE (Question-Oriented Text Embeddings), a novel enhancement to retrieval- augmented generation (RAG) systems, aimed at improving document representation for accurate and nuanced retrieval. Unlike traditional RAG pipelines, which rely on embed- ding raw text chunks, QuOTE augments …

Savaal: A system for automatically generating high-quality questions from unseen documents
… However, current solutions to automate the generation of challenging questions from educational materials and documents are insufficient, resulting in superficial or often irrelevant questions. While LLMs have been shown to excel in tasks like question answering, their usage on question …

Toward automatic generation of multiple-choice questions in an educational context
… textbooks often include thought-provoking questions at the beginning or at the end of a piece of text. These questions help readers to self-evaluate their comprehension of the text, and to reinforce their knowledge. The Internet has given people access to much more information than ever …

Learning to Ask Like a Physician
Existing question answering (QA) datasets derived from electronic health records (EHR) are artificially generated and, as a result, fail to capture realistic physician information needs. We present Discharge Summary Clinical Questions (DiSCQ), a newly curated question dataset composed of 2,000+ …
