Question Generation 1.5B Model v2

A fine-tuned language model specifically designed to generate high-quality English comprehension and assessment questions for secondary school students. This model is optimized to create questions aligned with standard educational curricula and learning objectives.

Model Description

This model is a LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) fine-tuned version of Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct. It has been trained specifically on educational question generation tasks to produce contextually relevant, pedagogically sound questions suitable for secondary school assessment.

Key Features

• Lightweight and Efficient: 1.5B parameters with LoRA adaptation for fast inference
• Education-Focused: Trained on curated educational content
• Curriculum-Aligned: Questions follow standard secondary school curricula and learning outcomes
• Question Variety: Capable of generating multiple question types (multiple choice, short answer, essay prompts, etc.)
• Context-Aware: Generates questions based on provided text passages or topics

Intended Use

This model is intended for:

• Educational Content Creation: Generating practice questions and assessments for secondary school students
• Curriculum Support: Creating supplementary learning materials aligned with educational standards
• Assessment Design: Assisting educators in developing comprehension questions and quiz content
• Language Learning: Generating English language proficiency assessment questions

Limitations

• Designed for English language question generation
• Best performance on secondary school level content (ages 14-18)
• May require post-processing or human review for use in high-stakes assessments
• Performance may vary with non-English text inputs

Training Data

The model was fine-tuned on a curated dataset of secondary school English curriculum materials and assessment question templates. Training data includes various question types aligned with standard educational frameworks.

Training Procedure

Hyperparameters

Training Performance

The model achieved strong convergence with decreasing training loss across epochs:

The model demonstrates consistent improvement in question generation quality as training progresses, with training loss decreasing from 0.63 to 0.02.

Framework Versions

• PEFT: 0.17.1
• Transformers: 4.57.1
• PyTorch: 2.9.0+cu126
• Datasets: 4.0.0
• Tokenizers: 0.22.1

Usage

from peft import AutoPeftModelForCausalLM
from transformers import AutoTokenizer

model_id = "tokhey/question_generation_1.5B_model_v2"
model = AutoPeftModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)

# Generate questions from a passage
prompt = "Generate 3 comprehension questions about: [your text passage]"
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=512)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))

Recommendations for Use

• Test the model on sample content before deploying in production
• Review generated questions for accuracy and appropriateness
• Use as an assistive tool to reduce educator workload, not as a sole assessment creation method
• Provide context and learning materials with generated questions for optimal student engagement
