Abstract

A computer-implemented method for automatic item generation in an digital examination that includes obtaining a first string of text, the first string of text being organized based on a linguistic context, selecting a first textual term from the first string of text, identifying a first set of linguistic characteristics corresponding to the first textual term, obtaining a second textual term exhibiting at least one linguistic characteristic that is different from any linguistic characteristic of the first set of linguistic characteristics, and generating a second string of text by replacing the first textual term in the first string of text with the second textual term.
