How an AI Builds Questions
An AI can read a text and build questions about it. That belongs to language AI. Experts call it NLP for short.
Learning apps build quiz questions this way. Voice assistants and search engines use it too.
How an AI builds questions
- 1
Find what matters
The AI reads the text. It looks for important facts and links.
- 2
Kinds of questions
Some questions aim at facts: who, what. Others aim at reasons: why, how. And some ask: what if?
- 3
Learning
The AI learns from millions of examples. That is how it spots what makes a good question.
- 4
How it is used
Learning apps use it. So do reading exercises and programs that test you.
Soon you will build questions about texts yourself. Then you compare them with the AI's questions.
Guess first, then experiment
The AI is asked to create quiz questions about a text. Which question is hardest for it?
