Abstract

This study presents a novel method of automatic English reference question generation. The English reference question is a multiple choice question which is comprised of a reading passage, a target pronoun, a correct answer (an antecedent of the target pronoun), and three distractors. The reading passage is generated by transforming human made passages using the proposed sentence splitting technique on nonrestrictive relative clauses (NRC). The correct answer is generated by the analysis of parse trees of the passage. The distractors are extracted from the reading passage by using a part-of-speech (POS) tagger and a coreference resolver. Human evaluation showed that 53% of the generated questions were acceptable.
