First Steps towards K-12 Computer Science Education in Portugal -- Experience Report [PDF]
arXivComputer scientists Jeannette Wing and Simon Peyton Jones have catalyzed a pivotal discussion on the need to introduce computing in K-12 mandatory education. In Wing's own words, computing 'represents a universally applicable attitude and skill set everyone, not just computer scientists, would be eager to learn and use.'' The crux of this educational ...

Robust Understanding of Word Problems with Extraneous Information [PDF]
arXiv, 2007 Understanding of free-format multi-step arithmetic word problems with extraneous information is discussed. A model including a full set of general skills necessary for understanding such problems was developed and computer implemented. The validity of the simulation was confirmed by testing on a variety of word problems with extraneous information. The
