Papers with MWP datasets
LogicSolver: Towards Interpretable Math Word Problem Solving with Logical Prompt-enhanced Learning (2022.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent advances in MWP solving are uninterpretable due to shallow heuristics . a new approach to solve automatic word problem solvers requires a solver to predict expression tree and corresponding linguistic logic formulas simultaneously. |
| Approach: | They propose to annotate interpretable logical formulas based on algebraic knowledge as the grounded linguistic logic of each solution equation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach improves interpretability of a MWP solver by using logical prompts and interpretation generation. |
Practice Makes a Solver Perfect: Data Augmentation for Math Word Problem Solvers (2022.naacl-main)

| Challenge: | Existing Math Word Problem solvers do not generalize well and rely on superficial cues to achieve high performance. |
| Approach: | They propose several data augmentation techniques to increase the size of existing MWP datasets by five folds by deploying them to a benchmark dataset. |
| Outcome: | The proposed methods increase the generalization and robustness of existing solvers by over five percentage points on benchmark datasets. |
Instructing Large Language Models to Identify and Ignore Irrelevant Conditions (2024.naacl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing CoT prompting methods elicited multi-step reasoning abilities of large language models (LLMs) but they were seriously confused by the irrelevant conditions, resulting in low accuracy. |
| Approach: | They propose a method that instructs large language models to identify and ignore irrelevant conditions and prompts them to verify the irrelevant conditions. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach outperforms existing methods on MWPs with GPT-3.5-Turbo and I3C-Select. |
Multi-lingual Mathematical Word Problem Generation using Long Short Term Memory Networks with Enhanced Input Features (2020.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for multi-lingual MWP generation are incapable of identifying language specific constraints, especially in morphologically rich yet low resource languages such as Sinhala and Tamil. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a long-term memory network to generate elementary level MWPs by adding character embeddings, word embedds and Part of Speech (POS) tag embeddements to the network. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model generates elementary level MWPs while satisfying language specific constraints while providing attention for numerical values and units. |
It Ain’t Over: A Multi-aspect Diverse Math Word Problem Dataset (2023.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies lack diversity in problem types, lexical usage patterns, languages, and intermediate solution forms for the math word problem. |
| Approach: | They propose a new MWP dataset with a wide range of diversity in problem types, lexical usage patterns, languages, and intermediate solutions. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset provides an opportunity to evaluate the capability of large language models. |
