Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments described herein provide system of a neural network based news reading tool. The system includes a communication interface receiving one or more text passages from data sources. The system also includes a memory storing a discord question neural model that generates a discord question according to the text passages. The system further includes processors executing processor-executable instructions to perform operations that include determining, by the discord question neural model, respective locations within the one or more text passages for inserting the discord question; receiving, via the communication interface from a client component, an indication that a user device is accessing a first text passage from a first data source; and sending, via the communication interface, the discord question, and a first location corresponding to the first text passage to the user device thereby causing the client component to generate and display a reading interface widget.
