Question answering is a very popular task in Natural language processing but question generation is novel and hasn’t been explored much yet.

If you want to try a live demo of question generation in action, please visit https://questgen.ai/

Question generation has a lot of use cases with the most prominent one being the ability to generate quick assessments from any given content. It would help school teachers in generating worksheets from any given chapter quickly and decrease their work burden during Covid-19.

I along with two other awesome interns Parth Chokhra and Vaibhav Tiwari built an easy-to-use, open-source library to advance the research in question generation using the state-of-the-art T5 transformer model from Hugging Face library.

The currently supported question generation capabilities of the library are MCQs, Yes/No questions, FAQs, Paraphrasing, and Question Answering.
