Researchers have developed HintMiner, a new tool designed to automatically generate hints for user questions by mining information from Q&A web posts. The system utilizes a self-supervised learning approach with a neural encoder-decoder model based on the transformer architecture. Evaluations on a large dataset of Stack Overflow questions demonstrated HintMiner's effectiveness, achieving notable BLEU and ROUGE scores. AI
