Question Generation Task

A Question Generation Task is a natural language generation task that creates interrogative sentences through question formulation algorithms.

• AKA: Query Generation Task, Interrogative Construction Task, Question Formulation Task, QG Task.
• Context:
  • It can typically produce Well-Formed Questions through question generation models.
  • It can typically utilize Context Information for question generation relevance.
  • It can typically ensure Question Diversity via question generation variation.
  • It can typically support User Question Asking Skills through question generation templates.
  • It can often employ Neural Language Models for question generation fluency.
  • It can often incorporate Answer-Aware Generation via question generation conditioning.
  • It can often coordinate with User Intent Understanding Tasks for question generation targeting.
  • It can range from being a Factual Question Generation Task to being an Open-Ended Question Generation Task, depending on its question generation type.
  • It can range from being a Template-Based Question Generation Task to being a Neural Question Generation Task, depending on its question generation method.
  • It can range from being a Single Question Generation Task to being a Multi-Question Generation Task, depending on its question generation quantity.
  • It can range from being a Context-Free Question Generation Task to being a Context-Dependent Question Generation Task, depending on its question generation grounding.

• Examples:
  • Educational Question Generation Tasks, such as:
    • Quiz Question Generation for assessment creation.
    • Practice Question Generation for learning reinforcement.
    • Comprehension Question Generation for understanding evaluation.
  • Conversational Question Generation Tasks, such as:
    • Follow-Up Question Generation for dialog continuation.
    • Clarification Question Generation for ambiguity resolution.
    • Engagement Question Generation for conversation maintenance.
  • Information-Seeking Question Generation Tasks, such as:
    • Diagnostic Question Generation for problem identification.
    • Survey Question Generation for data collection.
    • Interview Question Generation for candidate assessment.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Answer Generation Task, which produces responses rather than questions.
  • Statement Generation Task, which creates declarative rather than interrogative sentences.
  • Question Answering Task, which responds to questions rather than generates them.
