Math Word Problem Solving

62 papers with code • 11 benchmarks • 17 datasets

A math word problem is a mathematical exercise (such as in a textbook, worksheet, or exam) where significant background information on the problem is presented in ordinary language rather than in mathematical notation. As most word problems involve a narrative of some sort, they are sometimes referred to as story problems and may vary in the amount of technical language used.

Math Word Problem (MWP) solving presents a challenging task in Natural Language Processing (NLP).

An Expression Tree Decoding Strategy for Mathematical Equation Generation

no code yet • 14 Oct 2023

To generate a tree with expression as its node, we employ a layer-wise parallel decoding strategy: we decode multiple independent expressions (leaf nodes) in parallel at each layer and repeat parallel decoding layer by layer to sequentially generate these parent node expressions that depend on others.

Skills-in-Context Prompting: Unlocking Compositionality in Large Language Models

no code yet • 1 Aug 2023

Compositional generalization empowers the LLMs to solve problems that are harder than the ones they have seen (i. e., easy-to-hard generalization), which is a critical reasoning capability of human-like intelligence.

Math word problem (MWP) is a challenging and critical task in natural language processing.

Generating Equation by Utilizing Operators : GEO model

no code yet • COLING 2020

In this paper, we propose the GEO (Generation of Equations by utilizing Operators) model that does not use hand-crafted features and addresses two issues that are present in existing neural models: 1. missing domain-specific knowledge features and 2. losing encoder-level knowledge.
