Automated Generation of Assessment Test Items from Text: Some Quality Aspects
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper overviews the problem of automated generation of assessment test items from natural-language text. In a previously published article, an experimental system aimed at generating fill-in-theblank test items from Russian text was decribed. In this paper, some aspects of the system’s quality are analyzed. Main directions for future work are defined, including evaluation of the system and development of methods for filtering text fragments and selecting words to blank out.

متن کاملAn Enhanced Automated Test Item Creation Based on Learners Preferred Concept Space
Recently, research has become increasingly interested in developing tools that are able to automatically create test items out of text-based learning contents. Such tools might not only support instructors in creating tests or exams but also learners in self-assessing their learning progress. This paper presents an enhanced automatic question-creation tool (EAQC) that has been recently develope...
متن کاملContrast in concept-to-speech generation
In concept-to-speech systems, spoken output is generated on the basis of a text that has been produced by the system itself. In such systems, linguistic information from the text generation component may be exploited to achieve a higher prosodic quality of the speech output than can be obtained in a plain text-to-speech system. In this paper we discuss how information from natural language gene...
