Abstract：Text-based question generation is to generate related questions from a given sentence or paragraph. In recent years, sequence-to-sequence neural network models have been used to generate questions for sentences containing answers. However, these methods have the limitations: (1) the generated interrogatives do not match the answer type; and (2) the relevance of questions and the answer is not strong. This paper proposes a question generation model that based on answers and the contextual information. The model first determines interrogatives that match the answer type according to the relationship between the answer and the context information. Then, the model uses the answer and the context information to determine words related to questions, so that questions use words in the original text as much as possible. Finally, the model combines answer features, interrogatives, words related to questions with original sentences as inputs to generate a question. Experiments show that the proposed model is significantly better than the baseline systems.
