Generating Quiz Questions from Knowledge Graphs

Abstract

We propose an approach to generate natural language questions from knowledge graphs such as DBpedia and YAGO. We stage this in the setting of a quiz game. Our approach, though, is general enough to be applicable in other settings. Given a topic of interest (e.g., Soccer) and a difficulty (e.g., hard), our approach selects a query answer, generates a SPARQL query having the answer as its sole result, before verbalizing the question.
