Question generation and answering. DynaLearn, EC FP7 STREP project 231526, Deliverable D3.3

This deliverable presents the question generation module in the DynaLearn
software. Its role is to provide question and answer sets in several contexts ranging
from a multiple choice quiz to questions, answers, and explanations in response to
queries from the learner. It has the following main features: A mechanism for scope
setting, constraints analysis and the application of selection heuristics. A question
and answer construction mechanism based on model simulation input. A multiple
choice distractor generation mechanism. A flexible formal output OWL format. A
mechanism for interpreting questions and answers in response to learner queries
and recombining and analysing output to produce elaborate explanations. The final
main feature is a mechanism to construct a teachable agent challenge matching
questions from one model with answers from another model.
