Abstract

Math Word Problem (MWP) solving for teaching math with Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) faces a major limitation: ITSs only supervise pre-registered problems, requiring substantial manual effort to add new ones. ITSs cannot assist with student-generated problems. To address this, we propose an automated approach to translate MWPs to an ITS’s internal representation using pre-trained language models to convert MWP to Python code, which can then be imported easily. Experimental evaluation using various code models demonstrates our approach’s accuracy and potential for improvement.
