A new meaning representation language is designed to bridge natural language text and math expressions. A CFG parser is implemented based on 9,600 semi-automatically created grammar rules. We conduct experiments on a test set of over 1,500 number word problems (i.e., verbally expressed number problems) and yield 95.4% precision and 60.2% recall.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/automatically-solving-number-word-problems-by-semantic-parsing-and-reasoning/}, pages = {1132-1142}, }
