Abstract
A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for using a context dependency graph to automate the generation of an incorrect answer to a question suitable for a multiple choice exam. A reference corpus is used to generate a concept dependency graph that contains reference keywords and concepts associated with the subject domain of an input corpus. Relationships between the reference keywords and concepts within the concept dependency graph are identified. Once identified, they are used to process a set of input keywords and concepts extracted from the input corpus, and the reference keywords and concepts, to generate a set of distractor words. The resulting set of distractor words is then processed with a set of QA pairs associated with the input corpus to generate a set of multiple choice question-answers that include various distractor answers.
