Challenge: Existing methods to generate conversational question are naive and do not account for the answer span.
Approach: They propose a framework for generating a conversational question from a context.
Outcome: The proposed framework achieves state-of-the-art in two different settings compared to existing models . it uses a sentence as the rationale and extracts the answer span from it .

Challenge: Existing frameworks for conversational question generation are answeraware, but are not able to generate corresponding answers . a number of question generation methods are developed for text-based question answering .
Approach: They propose a framework for conversational question generation that is unaware of the corresponding answers.
Outcome: The proposed framework is effective but answeraware, the authors show . it improves quality of generated questions if question foci and question patterns are identified .
CoHS-CQG: Context and History Selection for Conversational Question Generation (2022.coling-1)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing studies focus on single-turn question generation, but few studies have studied the challenges of multiturn QG.
Approach: They propose a two-stage conversational question generation framework that shortens the context and history of the input and calculates relevance scores.

Approach: They propose a salience-guided approach to enhance Paragraph-level Question Generation by identifying salient sentences that manifest relevance.
Outcome: The proposed approach achieves Rouge-L, BLEU4, BERTScore, Q-BLUE-3 and F1-scores compared to baseline on FairytaleQA.
Improving Unsupervised Question Answering via Summarization-Informed Question Generation (2021.emnlp-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Question Generation (QG) is the production of meaningful questions given a set of input passages and corresponding answers.
Approach: They propose a method which uses questions generated heuristically from news summaries as a source of training data for a QG system.
Outcome: The proposed method outperforms previous unsupervised models on three in-domain datasets and three out-of-domain ones.
TSGP: Two-Stage Generative Prompting for Unsupervised Commonsense Question Answering (2022.findings-emnlp)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing studies focus on acquiring relevant knowledge by retrieving external knowledge bases and fine-tuning pre-trained models.
Approach: They propose a two-stage prompt-based unsupervised commonsense question answering framework that leverages implicit knowledge stored in PrLMs to generate knowledge for questions with unlimited types and possible candidate answers independent of specified choices.
Outcome: The proposed framework significantly improves the reasoning ability of language models in unsupervised settings.
Let Me Know What to Ask: Interrogative-Word-Aware Question Generation (D19-58)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing models focus on generating questions based on text and the answer to the generated question.
Approach: They propose a pipelined system that predicts the type of interrogative word to be generated . they also propose qg models that can be used to generate questions based on text .
Outcome: The proposed system improves on the task of QG in SQuAD, improving from 46.58 to 47.69 in BLEU-1, 17.55 to 18.53 in blu-4, 21.24 to 22.33 in METEOR, and 44.53 to 46.94 in ROUGE-L.
Leveraging Context Information for Natural Question Generation (N18-2)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing work for natural question generation ignores the input passage or hard-codes answer positions.
Approach: They propose a model that matches the answer with the passage before generating a question.
Outcome: The proposed model outperforms the state-of-the-art model using rich features.
Answer-focused and Position-aware Neural Question Generation (D18-1)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Recent neural network-based approaches generate interrogative words that do not match the answer type.
Approach: They propose an answer-focused and position-aware neural question generation model to address these issues.
Outcome: The proposed model outperforms the baseline and outperformed the state-of-the-art system.
GTM: A Generative Triple-wise Model for Conversational Question Generation (2021.acl-long)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Experimental results show that opendomain conversational question generation improves the quality of questions in terms of fluency, coherence and diversity over competitive baselines.
Approach: They propose a triple-wise model with hierarchical variations for open-domain conversational question generation using a post-question-answer triple and one-to-many semantic mappings.
Outcome: The proposed model significantly improves the quality of questions in terms of fluency, coherence and diversity over baselines.
