Question detection serves great purposes in the cQA question retrieval task. While detecting questions in standard language data corpus is relatively easy, it becomes a great challenge for online content. Online questions are usually long and informal, and standard features such as question mark or 5W1H words are likely to be absent. In this paper, we explore question characteristics in cQA ser...

Many Automatic Question Generation (AQG) approaches have been proposed focusing on reading comprehension support; however, none of them addressed academic writing. We conducted a large-scale case study with 25 supervisors and 36 research students enroled in an Engineering Research Method course. We investigated trigger questions, as a form of feedback, produced by supervisors, and how they supp...

We propose a generative machine comprehension model that learns jointly to ask and answer questions based on documents. The proposed model uses a sequence-to-sequence framework that encodes the document and generates a question (answer) given an answer (question). Significant improvement in model performance is observed empirically on the SQuAD corpus, confirming our hypothesis that the model b...
