Abstract
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for providing interface rendering of passages for test item generation. Methods and systems can utilize natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML) models to analyze passages that were provided in historical testing environments (e.g., first passage), determine one or more similar search strings that are also found in a current passage (e.g., second passage), and provide the first and second passages to a user interface of a user device. On the display, the search string in the historical and current passages may be highlighted at the user interface to identify the similarities.
