Math Word Problem Solving with Explicit Numerical Values
Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics, 2021 In recent years, math word problem solving has received considerable attention and achieved promising results, but previous methods rarely take numerical values into consideration. Most methods treat the numerical values in the problems as number symbols,
