Generating Questions for Reading Comprehension using Coherence Relations
Takshak Desai, Parag Pravin Dakle, DAN I. MOLDOVAN · 2018
We propose a technique for generating complex reading comprehension questions from a discourse that are more useful than factual ones derived from assertions.Our system produces a set of generallevel questions using coherence relations.These evaluate comprehension abilities like comprehensive analysis of the text and its structure, correct identification of the author's intent, thorough evaluation of stated arguments; and deduction of the high-level semantic relations that hold between text spans.Experiments performed on the RST-DT corpus allow us to conclude that our system possesses a strong aptitude for generating intricate questions.These questions are capable of effectively assessing student interpretation of text.
