Automatic Question Generation for Learning Evaluation in Medicine

An approach of automatic question generation from given learning material of medical text is presented in this paper. The main idea is to generate the questions automatically based on question templates which are created by training on many medical articles. In order to provide interesting questions, our research focuses on medical related concepts. This method can be used for evaluation of learner’s comprehension after he/she finished a reading material. Different from traditional learning system the articles and questions are all prepared beforehand; participants can learn whatever new input medical articles with the help of automatic question generation.
