Abstract
Computer-implemented systems and methods are described herein for automatically generating questions from text. Text including one or more sentences is received. A sentence, comprising a predicate and one or more arguments associated with the predicate, is parsed from the text. Semantic role labels are assigned to the one or more arguments associated with the predicate. One or more questions are automatically generated relating to the predicate based on the assigned semantic role labels. Each answer to the generated questions is one of the one or more arguments associated with the predicate.
