Translating algebra word problems, by some hacks, like those
in Chapter 7 of Norvig's book, Paradigms of AI programming,
could be put into a Macsyma package.
It would be an interesting test of the solve program, because
sometimes the hackery extends to solve as well as natural
language parsing.
The code is all on line.
Then an on-line web page for doing algebra word problems
could collect many examples.
More hacks would be needed to make it more forgiving
of misspelled words etc.
Just a thought.
