Abstract: We introduce an approach that automatically learns to solve algebra word problems. Our algorithm, a pioneering result for this task, reasons across sentence boundaries. It constructs and ...

This paper describes the Criss-Cross Method of solving linear programming problems. The method, a primal-dual scheme, normally begins with a problem solution that is neither primal nor dual feasible, ...

Word embeddings are often constructed with discriminative models such as deep nets and word2vec. Mikolov et al (2013) showed that these embeddings exhibit linear structure that is useful in solving ...

This paper develops an algorithm for pure integer programming problems. It first transforms the integer programming problem to an algebraically equivalent Hermite canonical problem, and then employs ...

Roughly, we will cover the following topics (some of them may be skipped depending on the time available). Linear Programming: Basics, Simplex Algorithm, and Duality. Applications of Linear ...
