Abstract

With the development of AI technology, the integration of AI and education has become increasingly close. The automatic question generation technology can effectively improve teachers’ efficiency in creating questions, and has attracted the attention of both academic and industry. This talk introduces several key technologies in automatic question generation and question paraphrase based on artificial intelligence, including automatic question generation based on knowledge graph, diversity and difficulty control in question generation, multi-modal question generation, and knowledge-based question paraphrase.
