This work addresses the need for automated assessment tools in education, specifically for reading comprehension in Swedish, though it is incremental as it applies an existing method to a new language.

The paper tackled the problem of automatically generating reading comprehension questions from Swedish text using the Quinductor method, finding it to be a viable approach that can serve as a strong baseline for neural-network-based methods.

This paper presents an evaluation of the quality of automatically generated reading comprehension questions from Swedish text, using the Quinductor method. This method is a light-weight, data-driven but non-neural method for automatic question generation (QG). The evaluation shows that Quinductor is a viable QG method that can provide a strong baseline for neural-network-based QG methods.
