    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Recently, both psychology and machine learning have explored the ability of learners to ask questions. However,\nmuch of this work has focused on a single type of question: a “label query”. When making a label query, the learner selects an\nunfamiliar (unlabeled) item and requests a label for it (e.g., ”What is this?”). We hypothesized that people often prefer much\nricher types of questions (e.g., feature queries: “Is this feature relevant?”, demonstration queries: “Can I see an example of a\nladybug?”, etc.). To study this behavior, we had people play a simple game where they generated natural language questions to\ndetermine a hidden configuration of objects. We compute the normative value of these rich questions as measured by modelbased\nanalyses (e.g., information gain). A second experiment evaluates the ability of human observers to judge this value when\nthe demands of question generation are removed.",
