Abstract

A mechanism is provided for generating a natural language question for a given input text. The input text is parsed using a minimal recursion semantics (MRS) generating grammar to obtain a minimal recursion semantics (MRS) representation of the input text. Semantic rote labelling transforms the input text into at least one semantic association of a verb and semantic arguments of the verb, the semantic arguments of the verb being fragments of the input text. A question type is received for at least one verb/semantic argument association. The MRS representation of the input text is transformed into a MRS representation of one or more questions based on the at least one semantic association of the verb and respective question types. At least one question of the one or more questions is generated based on the MRS representation of the at least one question using the MRS generating grammar.
