QUESTION GENERATION APPARATUS, QUESTION GENERATION METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18520703 titled 'QUESTION GENERATION APPARATUS, QUESTION GENERATION METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
The patent application describes a question generation apparatus that includes a processor carrying out various processes to generate questions with multiple answers.
- Acquiring process: The processor acquires a plurality of character strings and pieces of text.
- Question generating process: For each character string, the processor generates a question with the answer being that specific character string.
- Ambiguity judging process: The processor judges whether there are multiple answers to each question generated.
- Outputting process: The apparatus outputs questions that have been determined to have multiple answers.
- Potential Applications:
This technology could be used in educational settings for creating interactive quizzes and assessments. It could also be applied in chatbots and virtual assistants to enhance natural language processing capabilities.
- Problems Solved:
The technology addresses the need for generating questions with multiple answers, which can be challenging and time-consuming manually. It also helps in improving the efficiency of question generation processes.
- Benefits:
- Streamlined question generation process - Enhanced interactivity in educational tools - Improved natural language understanding in AI systems
- Commercial Applications:
The technology could be utilized in e-learning platforms, language learning apps, and AI chatbot services to enhance user engagement and provide more dynamic interactions.
- Prior Art:
There may be existing question generation systems, but the specific focus on generating questions with multiple answers could be a novel aspect of this technology.
- Frequently Updated Research:
Research on natural language processing, machine learning algorithms, and educational technology advancements could be relevant to the ongoing development and optimization of this technology.
- Questions about Question Generation Technology:
- Question 1:
How does the question generation process differ when considering multiple answers?
Answer: The question generation process involves assessing the potential for multiple answers and structuring questions accordingly to accommodate this ambiguity.
- Question 2:
What are some potential challenges in implementing a system that generates questions with multiple answers?
Answer: Challenges may include determining the appropriate level of ambiguity, ensuring the accuracy of generated questions, and managing the complexity of potential answers.
Original Abstract Submitted
At least one processor included in a question generation apparatus carries out: an acquiring process of acquiring a plurality of character strings and pieces of text; a question generating process of generating, for each of the plurality of character strings, a question an answer to which is that character string; an ambiguity judging process of judging, for each of a plurality of questions, whether there are a plurality of answers to that question; and an outputting process of outputting a question which has been judged to be the question to which there are a plurality of answers.
