A Turkish Educational Crossword Puzzle Generator
This provides an interactive educational tool to enhance memory, vocabulary, and problem-solving skills for Turkish learners, though it is incremental as it applies existing LLM methods to a new language domain.
The authors tackled the problem of generating educational crossword puzzles in Turkish by creating the first Turkish crossword puzzle generator using large language models, resulting in two datasets with over 180,000 answer-clue pairs and 35,000 samples for clue generation.
This paper introduces the first Turkish crossword puzzle generator designed to leverage the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) for educational purposes. In this work, we introduced two specially created datasets: one with over 180,000 unique answer-clue pairs for generating relevant clues from the given answer, and another with over 35,000 samples containing text, answer, category, and clue data, aimed at producing clues for specific texts and keywords within certain categories. Beyond entertainment, this generator emerges as an interactive educational tool that enhances memory, vocabulary, and problem-solving skills. It's a notable step in AI-enhanced education, merging game-like engagement with learning for Turkish and setting new standards for interactive, intelligent learning tools in Turkish.
