Nearly 200 years ago, the physicists Claude-Louis Navier and George Gabriel Stokes put the finishing touches on a set of equations that describe how fluids swirl. And for nearly 200 years, the ...
For elementary students, math problem-solving often feels like a puzzle without all the pieces. They know there’s a solution somewhere, but they can’t quite see how it all fits together. Behind every ...
Abstract: We introduce an approach that automatically learns to solve algebra word problems. Our algorithm, a pioneering result for this task, reasons across sentence boundaries. It constructs and ...
