# MultiMWP: A Multi-Way Parallel Dataset for Math Word Problem Generation

## Overview
**MultiMWP** is a **multi-way parallel dataset** designed for **math word problem (MWP) generation** across **9 languages**.
The dataset consists of **structured math word problems** in plain text format.
It is intended for **problem generation** rather than problem-solving. The same dataset is in Github: https://github.com/OmegaGamage/multiMWP/tree/master/dataset

## Dataset Structure
MultiMWP includes two categories of math word problems:
- **Simple Category**
- **Algebraic Category**

Each category is provided as a plain text file per language.

## Languages
The dataset is available in the following **9 languages**:

- **Albanian** (`sqi`)
- **Assamese** (`asm`)
- **Chinese** (`zho`)
- **English** (`eng`)
- **Hindi** (`hi`)
- **Oriya** (`ory`)
- **Sinhala** (`sin`)
- **Tamil** (`tam`)
- **Urdu** (`urd`)

## Data Format
Each file contains a list of math word problems, one per line. The dataset does not include solutions, equations, or additional metadata.

### Example from `Simple-English.txt`:
```
Bill has 9 marbles and Jim has 7 fewer marbles than Bill. How many marbles does Jim have?
Amal has 10 apples and Vimal has 8 fewer apples than Amal. How many apples does Vimal have?
Kamal has 16 marbles and Nimal has 12 fewer marbles than Kamal. How many marbles does Nimal have?
```

### Example from `Algebraic-English.txt`:
```
Find three consecutive odd integers such that the sum of the first integer twice the second integer and three times the third is 70.
The sum of two numbers is 120, if the larger number is 4 times the smaller number, find the two numbers?
A number is twice another number, if their sum is 48 find the numbers.
```

## Dataset Size
The dataset consists of:
- **Simple Category**: 3160 MWPs × 9 languages
- **Algebraic Category**: 4210 MWPs × 9 languages
