"What makes a question inquisitive?" A Study on Type-Controlled Inquisitive Question Generation. (arXiv:2205.08056v2 [cs.CL] UPDATED)

We propose a type-controlled framework for inquisitive question generation.
We annotate an inquisitive question dataset with question types, train question
type classifiers, and finetune models for type-controlled question generation.
Empirical results demonstrate that we can generate a variety of questions that
adhere to specific types while drawing from the source texts. We also
investigate strategies for selecting a single question from a generated set,
considering both an informative vs.~inquisitive question classifier and a
pairwise ranker trained from a small set …
