Automatic Question Generator

Abstract

The task of generating questions for a test is tedious and time consuming process for teachers. The project, works toward automating that process. The addition of Automatic Generator to assessment applications decreases the time spent on constructing examination papers [2]. It is designed to create a system for question generation (QG) that takes as input an article of text (e.g., a web page, encyclopedia or textbook material ), and generates a list of factual questions of what ,who type.

These questions are then presented to the students in form of a test paper. A score card is also generated after the student takes the test based on their performance.

This efficient question generation software makes use of the linguistic areas in NLP (Natural Language Processing) is useful and has potential for educational applications. Also, work in this area contributes to the literature on artificial intelligence in education and educational applications of NLP.
