This paper generates question/answer pairs from a passage by first {generating questions using ProphetNet fine-tuned on SQuAD}, then {filtering those questions by computing similarity to known-good questions from SQuAD, a question-answering dataset}, then using {BERT to generate answers}.
Using machine learning to generate good spaced repetition prompts from explanatory text
The results are sometimes pretty decent, though of course they still need a great deal of human filtering.

Passage 2:The availability of the Bible in vernacular languages was important to the spread of the Protestant movement and the development of the Reformed church in France. The country had a long history of struggles with the papacy by the time the Protestant Reformation finally arrived. Around 1294, a French version of the Scriptures was prepared by the Roman Catholic priest, Guyard de Moulin. A two-volume illustrated folio paraphrase version based on his manuscript, by Jean de Rely, was printed in Paris in 1487.
