Automatically Generating Test/Training Questions and Answers Through Pattern Based Analysis and Natural Language Processing Techniques on the Given Corpus for Quick Domain Adaptation

摘要

A mechanism is provided in a data processing system for automatically generating question and answer pairs for training a question answering system for a given domain. The mechanism identifies a set of patterns of components in passages within a corpus of documents for the given domain. The mechanism identifies a set of rules that correspond to the set of patterns for generating question and answer pairs from the passages within the corpus of documents. The mechanism applies the set of rules to the passages to generate the question and answer pairs.
