| Challenge: | Distractors are used to generate plausible but incorrect options for fill-in-the-blank questions . research studies focus on fine-tuning pre-trained models with data augmentation techniques to generate distractors . |
| Approach: | They propose a model that trains the model to recognize essential semantic features necessary to generate distractors. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms existing models on two public datasets. |

Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Objective questions such as fill-in-the-blank and multiple-choice require examinees to select one valid answer from a set of invalid options. |
| Approach: | They examine distractor generation tasks, datasets, methods, and evaluation metrics for English objective questions. |
| Outcome: | The proposed task is based on fill-in-the-blank and multiple choice questions and is widely utilized in educational settings across various domains and subjects. |
