Why it matters

Transform unstructured problem descriptions, research papers, and specification documents into rigorous mathematical problem specifications (MPS) with variables, constraints, objectives, and operators-all grounded in cited source text with explicit markers for missing or ambiguous information.

Outcomes

What it gets done

01

Parse documents to identify and classify problem type (optimization, classification, simulation, proof, estimation)

02

Extract mathematical components-variables with domains, operators, constraints, and objectives-each with exact source citations

03

Flag missing, ambiguous, or insufficiently defined elements with explicit MISSING markers and reasons

04

Validate completeness and output structured JSON with formalizability score and inference counts

Overview

DOC2MATH - Document-to-Mathematics Problem Specification

DOC2MATH extracts a formal Mathematical Problem Specification from a document under a Zero-Inference Protocol, citing exact source evidence for every variable, constraint, objective, and uncertainty element, and explicitly flagging what's missing rather than inferring it. Use it to formalize a problem statement, research excerpt, or word problem into a structured, evidence-cited specification; it won't invent math not present in the source.

What it does

DOC2MATH extracts a formal Mathematical Problem Specification (MPS) from a document, research excerpt, or word problem, under a strict "Zero-Inference Protocol": nothing in the output exists unless it's stated in the source, a closed world, every element must cite the exact source phrase in an evidence field, unknown values are null and ambiguous types are "ambiguous" rather than silently filled in, structural inferences are explicitly tagged "inferred": true with an "inference_basis", and elements that are mentioned but insufficiently defined get "status": "MISSING" with a "missing_reason" - it never introduces an equation or value absent from the source text. It classifies the problem as optimization, classification, simulation, proof, estimation, or other, then extracts five component types - Variables (id, name, symbol, type, domain, units, role, evidence), Operators (id, name, symbol, arity, inputs and outputs), Constraints (id, type, expression, variables involved, hardness), Objectives (id, direction - minimize, maximize, satisfy, find, or prove - expression, variables involved), and Uncertainty (type - stochastic, epistemic, measurement, model, or none stated - and what it affects) - each carrying its own evidence and inference or status flags. It surfaces what the document implies but doesn't state as a missing_information list, then validates and scores the whole extraction with flags for complete objectives, bounded variables, full evidence coverage, inference and missing counts, and an overall HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW formalizability rating. The result is a single JSON object with mps_version, source_title, problem_class, and the five component arrays plus missing_information and validation_flags.

When to use - and when NOT to

Use it to formalize a problem statement into math, extract the mathematical structure from a research paper section, identify the variables, constraints, and objectives in a spec, convert a word problem into a structured MPS, or find what's missing from a problem formulation. It requires enough source text to cite every extracted element - a sparse prompt should come back with explicit missing-information markers rather than invented content - and it produces a formal specification only, not a solved optimization model or a proof.

Inputs and outputs

Input: document text, a research excerpt, a problem description, or a specification. Output: a single MPS JSON object with problem_class, variables, operators, constraints, objectives, uncertainty, missing_information, and validation_flags including an overall formalizability rating.

Integrations

  • No external tools required for the core extraction - it's a structured output contract applied to the given text
  • A full BYOK, bring-your-own-key, hosted version and the source repository (thebrierfox/doc2math-skill) are available separately, built by IntuiTek¹ under the MIT License

Who it's for

Researchers or engineers who need a rigorously grounded, evidence-cited mathematical formalization of a problem statement - including an honest account of what's missing - rather than a model that fills gaps with plausible-sounding assumptions.
