  • Patent number: 10726733
    Abstract: Automated essay test generation and assessment processor device aspects identify phrases of discrete words appearing in a text data representation of a reference corpus of a subject matter as key concepts of the subject matter as a function of repetition of the first phrase within the reference corpus and an association with an organizational indicator of the reference corpus. Aspect processor devices further identify a text item that comprises a discrete objective value and that appears in association with the key concept as a question fact that is linked to the key concept, and generate an essay question comprising an instruction to compose an essay answer that associates the key concept to a generic domain attribute of the linked question fact.
