Two Approaches to Generate Questions in Basque

This article presents a chunker-based question generator (QG) and a QG system based on syntactic dependencies. Both systems generate questions in Basque at the sentence level and make use of the animate/inanimate feature of the nouns, named entities, semantic roles of the verbs, and the morphology o...

Descrição
Resumo:This article presents a chunker-based question generator (QG) and a QG system based on syntactic dependencies. Both systems generate questions in Basque at the sentence level and make use of the animate/inanimate feature of the nouns, named entities, semantic roles of the verbs, and the morphology of the noun phrases. Two experiments to generate questions were carried out based on educational texts. Then, a linguist analysed the grammaticality and appropriateness of the questions generated from single sentences, as well as their interrogative pronoun.
