Recent Advances in Neural Question Generation
Authors: Liangming Pan, Wenqiang Lei, Tat-Seng Chua, Min-Yen Kan
AI-generated Key Points
- Neural Question Generation (NQG) has been a subject of much research and development in recent years.
- Integration of a wider variety of inputs has led to the generation of questions that require higher levels of cognition.
- NQG is a bellwether for Natural Language Processing (NLP), highlighting how human intelligence embodies skills such as curiosity and integration.
- Liangming Pan, Wenqiang Lei, Tat-Seng Chua, and Min-Yen Kan conducted a survey examining corpora, methodologies, and evaluation methods to provide a comprehensive overview of NQG.
- Emerging trends in NQG's learning paradigms, input modalities, and cognitive levels considered by researchers are revealed in the survey.
- Promising directions for future research include incorporating external knowledge sources into question generation models or developing more sophisticated evaluation metrics to assess the quality of generated questions.
- This survey emphasizes the importance of NQG as an area of study within NLP and provides valuable insights into its current state and potential future developments.
Abstract: Emerging research in Neural Question Generation (NQG) has started to integrate a larger variety of inputs, and generating questions requiring higher levels of cognition. These trends point to NQG as a bellwether for NLP, about how human intelligence embodies the skills of curiosity and integration. We present a comprehensive survey of neural question generation, examining the corpora, methodologies, and evaluation methods. From this, we elaborate on what we see as emerging on NQG's trend: in terms of the learning paradigms, input modalities, and cognitive levels considered by NQG. We end by pointing out the potential directions ahead.
