• Abstract summary: We construct an Indonesian automatic question generator, adapting the architecture from some previous works. The system achieved BLEU1, BLEU2, BLEU3, BLEU4, and ROUGE-L score at 38,35, 20,96, 10,68, 5,78, and 43,4 for SQuAD, and 39.9, 20.78, 10.26, 6.31, 44.13 for TyDiQA.

• Abstract: Automatic question generation is defined as the task of automating the creation of question given a various of textual data. Research in automatic question generator (AQG) has been conducted for more than 10 years, mainly focused on factoid question. In all these studies, the state-of-the-art is attained using sequence-to-sequence approach. However, AQG system for Indonesian has not ever been researched intensely. In this work we construct an Indonesian automatic question generator, adapting the architecture from some previous works. In summary, we used sequence-to-sequence approach using BiGRU, BiLSTM, and Transformer with additional linguistic features, copy mechanism, and coverage mechanism. Since there is no public large dan popular Indonesian dataset for question generation, we translated SQuAD v2.0 factoid question answering dataset, with additional Indonesian TyDiQA dev set for testing. The system achieved BLEU1, BLEU2, BLEU3, BLEU4, and ROUGE-L score at 38,35, 20,96, 10,68, 5,78, and 43,4 for SQuAD, and 39.9, 20.78, 10.26, 6.31, 44.13 for TyDiQA, respectively. The system performed well when the expected answers are named entities and are syntactically close with the context explaining them. Additionally, from native Indonesian perspective, the best questions generated by our best models on their best cases are acceptable and reasonably useful.

  We introduce a multi-question generation model (mQG) capable of generating multiple, diverse, and answerable questions. To validate the answerability of the generated questions, we employ a SQuAD2.0 fine-tuned question answering model. mQG shows promising results across various evaluation metrics, among strong baselines.

  Question and answer generation (QAG) consists of generating a set of question-answer pairs given a context. In this paper, we establish baselines with three different QAG methodologies that leverage sequence-to-sequence language model (LM) fine-tuning. Experiments show that an end-to-end QAG model, which is computationally light at both training and inference times, is generally robust and outperforms other more convoluted approaches.

  Question Generation (QG) is a task of Natural Language Processing (NLP) that aims at automatically generating questions from text. In this work, we present a system, GEN, that learns from such (implicit) feedback. Results show that GEN is able to improve by learning from both levels of implicit feedback when compared to the version with no learning.

  PAXQA (Projecting annotations for cross-lingual (x) QA) decomposes cross-lingual QA into two stages.

We show that models fine-tuned on these datasets outperform prior synthetic data generation models over several extractive QA datasets.

  We introduce an alignment-enhanced complex question answering framework, called ALCQA.

We retrieve top-k similar question-answer pairs at the inference stage through question-to-question alignment and propose a novel reward-guided action sequence selection strategy.
