Abstract

The one-way information communication provision does not impress listeners well. As an efficient way, Question & Answer can not only help listeners to comprehend the content of information but also help information providers understand the response of listeners. However, it is not easy for everyone to create suitable questions. In this paper, we propose an automatic quiz generation system using tourism blogs. The system can generate quizzes by extracting feature words of the topic keyword from blogs. Our purpose is to help tourism information providers to advertise their tourism events in an interactive way, in order to impress tourists. When compared with other methods of quiz generation, we demonstrate that our method is more suitable for information communication provision.
