Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The goal of this article is to develop a multiple-choice questions generation system that has a number of advantages, including quick scoring, consistent grading, and a short exam period. To overcome this difficulty, we suggest treating the problem of question creation as a sequence-to-sequence learning problem, where a sentence from a text passage can directly mapped to a question. Our approach is data-driven, which eliminates the need for manual rule implementation. This strategy is more effective and gets rid of potential errors that could result from incorrect human input. Our work on question generation, particularly the usage of the transformer model, has been impacted by recent developments in a number of domains, including neural machine translation, generalization, and picture captioning.
