WPS: Application for Generating Answer of Word Problem in Bahasa Indonesia

Abstract

In education field, a lot of automation has been carried out, for example an automatic assessment system. For example in math, there is word problem that has higher complexity than algebraic problem. To be able to create an automatic assessment system, it is necessary to have a system that can automatically issue answers to word problems first. This work introduces WPS: Application of Word Problem Solver, a system that will generate an answer for a word problem. This system will give an answer of word problem that user inputs based on the algorithm and rules inside the program. We used corpus built specifically for word problems which have different characteristics for each problem, depending on the type of operator used. The result of this research is an application that can automatically generate an answer from word problem issues by user with accuracy of 82.5%.
