QUESTION GENERATION APPARATUS, QUESTION GENERATION METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18519286 titled 'QUESTION GENERATION APPARATUS, QUESTION GENERATION METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a question generation apparatus that acquires a first question with multiple answers, generates a second question for each answer, verifies the ambiguity of the answers, and outputs the second question with fewer answers.
- **Key Features and Innovation:**
- Acquiring a first question with multiple answers - Generating a second question for each answer - Verifying the ambiguity of answers - Outputting the second question with fewer answers
Potential Applications: This technology could be applied in educational settings for creating interactive quizzes, in customer service for generating tailored questions, and in market research for designing surveys.
Problems Solved: The technology addresses the challenge of efficiently generating questions with specific answers, reducing ambiguity in responses, and streamlining the question generation process.
Benefits: - Improved accuracy in question generation - Enhanced customization of questions for different answers - Streamlined verification of ambiguous answers
Commercial Applications: The technology could be utilized in educational software, customer service chatbots, and market research platforms to enhance user engagement and gather more precise data.
Prior Art: There is limited information available on prior art related to this specific technology.
Frequently Updated Research: There is ongoing research in natural language processing and artificial intelligence that may impact the development and applications of this technology.
Questions about Question Generation Technology: 1. **How does the apparatus determine the number of answers to verify ambiguity?** The apparatus uses a process to analyze the responses and determine the quantity of answers for each question.
2. **What are the potential implications of using this technology in market research?** This technology could lead to more accurate data collection and improved survey design in market research studies.
Original Abstract Submitted
At least one processor included in a question generation apparatus carries out: a an acquiring process of acquiring a first question to which there are a plurality of answers; a question generating process of generating, for each of the plurality of answers, a second question an answer to which is a character string indicating that answer; an ambiguity verifying process of verifying how many answers there are; and an outputting process of outputting the second question which has fewer answers than the first question, in accordance with a result of verification.
