New computer system solves algebra word problems - The Economic Times - 0 views

The work could lead to educational tools that identify errors in students' reasoning or evaluate the difficulty of word problems, researchers said.
-
To teach the system how to perform that mapping, and to produce the equation templates, the researchers used machine learning.
-
In a series of experiments, the researchers would randomly select 400 of the 500 problems, use those to train their system, and then test it on the remaining 100.

Interesting development from MIT working to create a computer program that can solve any word problem based off of learning the parts of the problem and trends from common formats.
