Question generation aims to produce questions automatically given a piece of text as input. Existing research follows a sequence-to-sequence fashion that constructs a single question based on the input. Considering each question usually focuses on a specific fragment of the input, especially in the scenario of reading comprehension, it is reasonable to identify the corresponding focus before constructing the question. In this paper, we propose to identify question-worthy phrases first and generate questions with the assistance of these phrases. We introduce a multi-agent communication framework, taking phrase extraction and question generation as two agents, and learn these two tasks simultaneously via message passing mechanism. The results of experiments show the effectiveness of our framework: we can extract question-worthy phrases, which are able to improve the performance of question generation. Besides, our system is able to extract more than one question worthy phrases and generate multiple questions accordingly.

Sociology should be the foundational science of social emergence. But to date, sociologists have neglected emergence, and studies of emergence are more common within microeconomics. Moving forward, I argue that a science of social emergence requires two advances beyond current approaches—and that sociology is better positioned than economics to make these advances. First, consistent with existing critiques of microeconomics, I argue that we need a more sophisticated representation of individual agents. Second, I argue that multi-agent models need a more sophisticated representation of interaction processes. The agent communication languages currently used by multi-agent systems researchers are not appropriate for modeling human societies. I conclude by arguing that the scientific study of interaction and emergence will have to migrate out of microeconomics and become a part of sociology. Sociologists, for their part, should embrace multi-agent modeling to pursue a more rigorous study of these traditional sociological issues.

With widely applications of Multi-Agent System (MAS) on internet and intranet, how to ensure security regarding multi-agent communication is a big issue. Traditional cryptographic technologies support a coarse granularity security. This paper adopts XML security technology to provide a security mechanism for MAS communication. With the combination of XML security specifications and MAS, the paper presents a fine-grained security model for MAS communication. The model proposed can satisfy the security requirements of MAS communication based on XML data format.
