Math Word Problem Solving

61 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.

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.

MathQA: Towards Interpretable Math Word Problem Solving with Operation-Based Formalisms
