• Abstract: This paper looks at the ability of large language models to participate in educational guided reading. We specifically, evaluate their ability to generate meaningful questions from the input text, generate diverse questions both in terms of content coverage and difficulty of the questions and evaluate their ability to recommend part of the text that a student should re-read based on the student's responses to the questions. Based on our evaluation of ChatGPT and Bard, we report that, 1) Large language models are able to generate high quality meaningful questions that have high correlation with the input text, 2) They generate diverse question that cover most topics in the input text even though this ability is significantly degraded as the input text increases, 3)The large language models are able to generate both low and high cognitive questions even though they are significantly biased toward low cognitive question, 4) They are able to effectively summarize responses and extract a portion of text that should be re-read.

  CaLMQA is a collection of 1.5K culturally specific questions spanning 23 languages and 51 culturally translated questions from English into 22 other languages. We collect naturally-occurring questions from community web forums and hire native speakers to write questions to cover under-studied languages such as Fijian and Kirundi. Our dataset contains diverse, complex questions that reflect cultural topics (e.g. traditions, laws, news) and the language usage of native speakers.

• Improving Reading Comprehension Question Generation with Data Augmentation and Overgenerate-and-rank [3.854023945160742]
  Automated answer-aware reading comprehension question generation has significant potential to scale up learner support in educational activities. One key technical challenge in this setting is that there can be multiple questions, sometimes very different from each other, with the same answer. We propose 1) a data augmentation method that enriches the training dataset with diverse questions given the same context and answer and 2) an overgenerate-and-rank method to select the best question from a pool of candidates.

We demonstrate that the resulting pragmatic questioner substantially improves the informativeness and specificity of questions generated over a baseline model.

  Multi-choice machine reading comprehension (MRC) requires models to choose the correct answer from candidate options given a passage and a question. Our research focuses dialogue-based MRC, where the passages are multi-turn dialogues. It suffers from two challenges, the answer selection decision is made without support of latently helpful commonsense, and the multi-turn context may hide considerable irrelevant information.
