arXiv:2407.20578v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This study explores the effectiveness of Large Language Models (LLMs) for Automatic Question Generation in educational settings.

Questions were obtained in a two-step pipeline: first, answer phrases were extracted from slides using Llama 2-Chat 13B; then, the three models generated questions for each answer.

As generative artificial intelligence (AI) applications become more prevalent, maintaining responsible AI principles becomes essential. Without proper safeguards, large language models (LLMs) can potentially generate harmful, biased, or inappropriate content, posing risks to individuals and organizations. Applying guardrails helps mitigate these risks by enforcing policies and guidelines that align with ethical principles and legal requirements. Guardrails for Amazon Bedrock evaluates user inputs and model responses based on use case-specific policies, and provides an additional layer of safeguards regardless of the underlying foundation model (FM). Guardrails can be applied across all LLMs on Amazon Bedrock, including fine-tuned models and even generative…
