Abstract
In this paper, we aim to develop a supporting system for quizzes, which are used for grasping students' understandings, in class time. We developed an automatic keyword extraction method from descriptive answers of a quiz. The method refers to frequency of words in answers and general documents (corpus). We discuss an effective database of frequency in corpus for our extraction method. We conclude that (1) Japanese WikiPedia is a good for corpus, (2) the system can extract compound words by connecting morphemes.
