MATHWELL: Generating Educational Math Word Problems Using Teacher Annotations [PDF]
arXivMath word problems are critical K-8 educational tools, but writing them is time consuming and requires extensive expertise. To be educational, problems must be solvable, have accurate answers, and, most importantly, be educationally appropriate. We propose that language models have potential to support K-8 math education by automatically generating ...

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

Aberration and Special Relativity [PDF]
arXiv, 1998 Section 7 of Einstein's 1905 electrodynamics paper gives frequency-shift and aberration formulae that together describe an elongated ellipsoidal wavefront. A Lorentz contraction of this ellipsoid solves most (but not all) of the associated relativistic problems.
