Inspiration
I wanted to create something that could help people learn better, and so I came up with the idea of generating questions out of course material or articles.
What it does
Creates fill-in-the-blank quizzes from text that you fed to it to help you test yourself on content that you are reading/learning
How we built it
I used the Python and the Flask framework to create the website. I used KeyBERT to extract the keywords of the text, and used that to create the fill-in-the-blank quizzes.
Challenges we ran into
I originally wanted to use LLMs to create the quizzes, and I had decided on using Llama2 made by Meta. However, it was really confusing trying to setup Llama2, so much so that I ended up turning away completely from using LLMs to create the questions in favour of keyword extraction.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I'm happy that I was able to get an actual working program that can make reasonable fill-in-the-blank quizzes with a reasonable design and layout.
What we learned
This project helped me learn about the Flask framework, as well as the concept of fine-tuning existing AIs to do a certain task better, even though I didn't actually get to do that in this project.
What's next for QuizFlare
Hopefully to go back to the original plan of using LLMs to create good thought-provoking questions from the text that is fed in, for much higher quality questions and in greater variety as well.
