Can a robot pass a university math exam?
Do androids dream of electro-ovules?
In computer mathematics systems such as Maple or Mathcad, a mathematical expression is entered using either a special toolbar or a formal language similar to LaTeX: in other words, this is how a program understands whether it will have to deal with a quadratic equation or logarithmic inequality, for example. But what about the fact that the text of the task to enter in a natural language, without any conventions, and get an answer?

Japanese Fujitsu Laboratories, in collaboration with the National Institute of Informatics (National Institute of Informatics), published a press release on the latest results of its research project on the creation of an “artificial brain” called Todai with the long name “Todai Robot Project (Todai) Entrance Exam? The final goal is that Todai in 2016 should get high marks on the tests of the National Center for Entrance Exams (National Center for University Entrance Examinations), which all schoolchildren take in Japan, and enter the University of Tokyo in 2026 - formally, of course. In this case, Todai should not "live" in something that is larger or better in terms of the computational abilities of a regular laptop.
Strictly speaking, Todai should solve mathematical problems according to the approximate scheme presented in the figure below - as you can see, the text of the task is formulated in ordinary English:
The last time Todai was subjected to the following test was that he was offered tasks of two levels of difficulty (Math IA, Math II) for the entrance exam at Tokyo University for humanitarian and natural science specialties. The results were as follows: Todai successfully coped with two tasks out of four for the first block, a humanitarian one, and showed similar results for the tasks of the second block.
Unfortunately, it is not quite clear what this result means, but if we assume that the robot coped with half of the proposed tasks, then to some extent it turned out to be better than a significant number of living people. You can evaluate the Todai logic by answering its answer below:
