MULTILINGUAL MCQ GENERATION USING TRANSFORMER ENSEMBLES
The Multilingual MCQ Generation System Using Transformers is an automated platform generating high-quality multiple-choice questions (MCQs) from input text in Tamil, English, and Hindi. The system integrates T5, mT5, and fine-tuned multilingual BERT within a hybrid ensemble pipeline spanning five stages: language detection, transformer encoding, question generation, distractor synthesis, and domain-aware reranking across eight domains. The proposed hybrid ensemble achieves 93.4% accuracy, 91.6% F1-score, and BLEU of 0.748, significantly outperforming all individual baselines and enabling scalable language-inclusive AI-driven educational evaluation
