Math Tools

This page by the Math WG keeps a non-exhaustive list of tools targeting MathML Core, the markup language for maths implemented in web engines, or MathML Full, an extension with support provided by polyfills or plugins.

🚧 Update of this list is in progress. Many of the tools may be unmaintained, or may use the legacy MathML 3 specification as a reference.

Scientific prototypes

• Python binding to approach0 It includes the operator tree parser that approach0 uses, and a linear tokenizer for latex, of course, it has core functionalities of the approach0 system. The tokenizer is useful if you want to apply it for transformer because it can reduce the vocabulary (e.g., \frac vs \dfrac) at the same time treating the tokens specially.
• The WebMIaS web search engine of EuDML (available also as a Docker image[2], and its individual components (Java):
• * MathML canonicalizer
  • MathML unificator
  • Math processing plugin for Apache Lucene and Solr
• template for a math-aware search engine powered by the pv211-utils library (Python)
• An implementation of the soft cosine document similarity measure in the Gensim[3], [4] library (Python).
• A fork of the Tangent-CFT search engine (Python) that recognizes all LaTeX operators in arXMLiv 2019 and M-SE.
  Can be used to produce SLT and OPT out of MathML.
