In this paper, we propose a new architecture for Question
Generation for the Portuguese Language. This architecture aims at the
automatic generation of questions, to be used later, for instance, in automatic question answering by means of predictive question generation.
Our approach combines a case-based reasoning system and a module for
question generation. The question generation module uses manually built
rules that are fed to the case-based reasoning engine for selecting which
ones should be used. This is accomplished by comparing the answer and
the sentence part-of-speech tag sequences. An identical tag sequence on
sentences and answers usually implies a similar sequence on the corresponding questions. We discuss the details of this architecture, how it
performs and the results obtained so far.
