Mathematics Dataset

Inspired by google deepmind This dataset code generates mathematical question and answer pairs, from a range of question types at roughly school-level difficulty. This is designed to test the mathematical learning and algebraic reasoning skills of learning models.

Original paper: Analysing Mathematical Reasoning Abilities of Neural Models (Saxton, Grefenstette, Hill, Kohli).

Example questions

Question: Solve -42*r + 27*c = -1167 and 130*r + 4*c = 372 for r.
Answer: 4

Question: Calculate -841880142.544 + 411127.
Answer: -841469015.544

Question: Let x(g) = 9*g + 1. Let q(c) = 2*c + 1. Let f(i) = 3*i - 39. Let w(j) = q(x(j)). Calculate f(w(a)).
Answer: 54*a - 30

Question: Let e(l) = l - 6. Is 2 a factor of both e(9) and 2?
Answer: False

Question: Let u(n) = -n**3 - n**2. Let e(c) = -2*c**3 + c. Let l(j) = -118*e(j) + 54*u(j). What is the derivative of l(a)?
Answer: 546*a**2 - 108*a - 118

Question: Three letters picked without replacement from qqqkkklkqkkk. Give prob of sequence qql.
Answer: 1/110

Getting the source

PyPI

The easiest way to get the source is to use pip:

$ pip install alpha-math

From GitHub

Alternately you can get the source by cloning the mathematics_dataset repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/deepmind/mathematics_dataset
$ pip install --upgrade mathematics_dataset/

Generating examples

Generated examples can be printed to stdout via the generate script. For example:

python -m mathematics_dataset.generate --filter=linear_1d

will generate example (question, answer) pairs for solving linear equations in one variable.

We've also included generate_to_file.py as an example of how to write the generated examples to text files. You can use this directly, or adapt it for your generation and training needs.

description	This dataset consists of mathematical question and answer pairs, from a range of question types at roughly school-level difficulty. This is designed to test the mathematical learning and algebraic reasoning skills of learning models.\n \n ## Example questions\n \n ```\n Question: Solve -42*r + 27*c = -1167 and 130*r + 4*c = 372 for r.\n Answer: 4\n \n Question: Calculate -841880142.544 + 411127.\n Answer: -841469015.544\n \n Question: Let x(g) = 9*g + 1.

Note the training data for each question type is split into "train-easy", "train-medium", and "train-hard". This allows training models via a curriculum. The data can also be mixed together uniformly from these training datasets to obtain the results reported in the paper. Categories:\n \n * **algebra** (linear equations, polynomial roots, sequences)\n * **arithmetic** (pairwise operations and mixed expressions, surds)\n * **calculus** (differentiation)\n * **comparison** (closest numbers, pairwise comparisons, sorting)\n * **measurement** (conversion, working with time)\n * **numbers** (base conversion, remainders, common divisors and multiples,\n primality, place value, rounding numbers)\n * **polynomials** (addition, simplification, composition, evaluating, expansion)\n * **probability** (sampling without replacement)
