Mining Ontologies for Analogy Questions: A Similarity-based Approach.

In this paper, we propose a new approach to generate analogy questions of the form ”A is to B as ... is to ?” from ontologies. Analogy questions are widely used in multiple-choice tests such as SATs and GREs and are used to assess student’s higher cognitive abilities. The design, implementation and evaluation of the new approach are presented in this paper. The results show that mining ontologies for such questions is fruitful.
