Abstract
Questions play a central role in assessment of a candidate's expertise during an interview or examination. However, generating such questions from input text documents manually needs specialized expertise and experience. Further, techniques that are available for automated question generation require input sentence as well as an answer phrase in that sentence to generate question. This in-turn requires large training datasets consisting tuples of input sentence answer-phrase and the corresponding question. Additionally, training datasets are available are for general purpose text, but not for technical text. Present application provides systems and methods for generating technical questions from technical documents. The system extracts meta information and linguistic information of text data present in technical documents. The system then identifies relationships that exist in provided text data. The system further creates one or more graphs based on the identified relationships. The created graphs are the used by the system to generate technical questions.
