Automated Video-to-QA Pipeline: End-to-End Question Generation and Verification Using Large Language Models

원문 초록

The exponential growth of educational and informational video content on platforms like YouTube presents a challenge for efficient knowledge retrieval and assessment. This paper proposes an end-to-end automated pipeline for extracting structured summaries and generating high-fidelity Question-Answer (QA) pairs from video streams. The framework integrates a cascade of state-of-the-art models: audio extraction is handled via FFmpeg, followed by automatic speech recognition (ASR) using Whisper (A library in Python) to generate accurate transcripts. Due to the token constraints of Large Language Models (LLMs), transcripts are segmented and summarized using Facebook's BART. A key innovation of this work is a Self-Verification and Fine-Tuning Loop. We utilize meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8BInstruct to generate candidate QA pairs from transcript chunks, which are then fed back into the model to rigorously assess their relevance and importance. Only verified, high-quality pairs are retained to construct a synthetic dataset. This dataset is subsequently used to fine-tune the Llama model using Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA), resulting in a specialized model capable of generating domain-aligned assessment questions. This approach demonstrates a scalable method for creating self-improving educational tools without the need for manual data annotation. The proposed model can be downloaded from Kaggle with all the codes from GitHub.
