自然语言命题选择:寻找数学文本的支持语句

Natural Language Premise Selection: Finding Supporting Statements for Mathematical Text

University of Manchester(曼彻斯特大学)

Deborah Ferreira, Andre Freitas

摘要:

数学文本是使用单词和数学表达式的组合编写的。这种组合,以及特定的句子结构方式,使得最先进的NLP工具在数学话语之上理解和推理变得具有挑战性。在这项工作中,我们提出了一个新的NLP任务,自然前提选择,这是用来检索支持的定义和支持命题是有用的生成一个非正式的数学证明一个特定的声明。我们还提供了一个数据集,NL-PS,它可以用来评估自然前提选择任务的不同方法。使用不同的基线,我们展示了与任务相关的潜在解释挑战。

英文摘要:

Mathematical text is written using a combination of words and mathematical expressions. This combination, along with a specific way of structuring sentences makes it challenging for state-of-art NLP tools to understand and reason on top of mathematical discourse. In this work, we propose a new NLP task, the natural premise selection, which is used to retrieve supporting definitions and supporting propositions that are useful for generating an informal mathematical proof for a particular statement. We also make available a dataset, NL-PS, which can be used to evaluate different approaches for the natural premise selection task. Using different baselines, we demonstrate the underlying interpretation challenges associated with the task.
