Developing Question Generation System for Bahasa Indonesia Using Indonesian Standard Language Regulation

Abstract

In education, teacher will frequently ask his student to measure the level of understanding for each student. Meanwhile, the need for self-evaluation for students is requiring the system that able to automatically generate question whenever they want. In order to tackle that problem, there is an area of research, called as question generation (QG). Question generation is a task to make a system that able to automatically generate questions as good as human. In English, there are already many researches in this area, that is from traditionally using pattern matching, or statistically with machine learning. Meanwhile, there is still not many works in Bahasa Indonesia. This research tries to drive the research in question generation, especially in Bahasa Indonesia. Tata Bahasa Baku Bahasa Indonesia (TBBI) is a set of standard language rules in Bahasa Indonesia, is used in this work to convert statement sentence into interrogative sentence. This method allows the more directed pattern matching for converting statement into question. By using this method, the system is able to generate up to 5,000 different questions, with just one book.
