<br>QG STEC 2010 offers two basic tasks, Question Generation from paragraphs and Question Generation from Sentences, and one open task in which we invite submissions of any independent, substantial effort to evaluation of QG approaches. The two basic tasks will be run by two teams from Memphis University, USA and the Open University, UK.<br>
<br>Interested participants are invited to review the proposed tasks at <a href="http://www.questiongeneration.org/QGSTEC2010" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 204); ">www.questiongeneration.org/QGSTEC2010</a> and to contact the task organisers as per the contact details on the site. Participants in the QGSTEC will be given the opportunity to submit a paper and present their approach to the upcoming 3rd Workshop on Question Generation, to be announced soon.<br>
<br>If you wish to become involved with the QGSTEC 2010 then please let us know. Any assistance is welcome. Please forward this announcement to potential participants from your personal contacts.<br><br>Looking forward to your participating in one or more QG tasks.<br>
