Scalable Educational Question Generation with Pre-trained Language Models

Understand

The automatic generation of educational questions will play a key role in scaling online education, enabling self-assessment at scale when a global population is manoeuvring their personalised learning journeys.

• We develop \textit{EduQG}, a novel educational question generation model built by adapting a large language model.
• Our extensive experiments demonstrate that \textit{EduQG} can produce superior educational questions by further pre-training and fine-tuning a pre-trained language model on the scientific text and science question data.
