I know this isnt the same, but:
I've long had it on my list of things to try to train a classifier to predict the answer to multiple choice tests based on embedding of the questions. Many tests I've seen don't require actual intelligence to pass, just a plausible answer relative to the question phrasing
- tshaddox 4y agoA lot of multiple choice tests are only there to provide some minimum bar of plausible deniability for the examiner. The multiple choice section of a driving test (at least in the two U.S. states I've taken them) is a great example. The questions are almost entirely of the form: Which of these activities is legally permitted while operating an automobile? A. Wearing your seatbelt. B. Being intoxicated. C. Driving 120 miles per hour. D. Intentionally colliding with pedestrians. That way, when someone drives drunk, it clearly isn't the fault of the examiner, because they clearly verified that the person knew that was illegal! (Or at least, if they got that question wrong, they got enough other ones correct.)
- bombcar 4y agoSome questions will be gimmies like that but others will be “which is the default speed for a residential street: 15, 25, 35, 45”
- tshaddox 4y agoWhen I took the CA written exam, the only questions I missed were one or two about the specific penalties for certain infractions. Which I’m pretty sure is not something I need to know. Someone will undoubtedly tell me at my sentencing.
