A cloze test evaluates language comprehension by removing a word or token from context and asking the reader or model to predict what belongs in the blank. section 13.3.1
Predicting a missing word
Given “I went to the ________ and bought some vegetables,” people may answer “store,” “market,” or “grocer.” Comparing answers tests how context supports comprehension. section 13.3.1
Longer comprehension questions extend the same idea: a reader must locate and recall information from surrounding text. These assessments provide a foundation for understanding how language models learn from large text collections. section 13.3.1
