The survey begins with an overview of NQG's background, encompassing the task's problem formulation, prevalent benchmark datasets, established evaluation metrics, and notable applications. It then methodically classifies NQG approaches into three predominant categories: structured NQG, which utilizes organized data sources, unstructured NQG, focusing on more loosely structured inputs like texts or visual content, and hybrid NQG, drawing on diverse input modalities. This classification is followed by an in-depth analysis of the distinct neural network models tailored for each category, discussing their inherent strengths and potential limitations. The survey culminates with a forward-looking perspective on the trajectory of NQG, identifying emergent research trends and prospective developmental paths. Accompanying this survey is a curated collection of related research papers, datasets, and codes, all of which are available on GitHub. This provides an extensive reference for those delving into NQG.","doi":"10.24963/ijcai.2024/889","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2024/889","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2024/0889.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2024/889.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2024/bibtex/889","volume":{"slug":"2024","title":"Proceedings of the Thirty-Third International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2024","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2024/","year":2024,"location":"Jeju, Korea","dates":"3-9 August 2024","editors":"Kate Larson","isbn":"978-1-956792-04-1","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence Organization","doi_prefix":"10.24963/ijcai.2024"},"section":"Survey Track","track":"Survey Track","number":889,"pages":{"first":8038,"last":8047},"keywords":["Natural Language Processing: NLP: Question answering","Natural Language Processing: NLP: Language generation"],"videos":[],"references":[{"position":1,"raw":"[Antol et al., 2015] Stanislaw Antol, Aishwarya Agrawal, Jiasen Lu, Margaret Mitchell, Dhruv Batra, C.
