Towards Intelligent Summarising and Browsing of Mathematical Expressions

Abstract:

Most computer algebra systems, by default, output the result of the symbolic computations in expanded form with all the details which usually makes the result difficult to read. Many systems have some techniques to alleviate this difficulty, but the techniques are usually system-specific, and often not programmable.
This paper describes the application OpenMath Browser. Its primary purpose is to serve as a tool for demonstrating and testing of summarisation and browsing approaches. Being based on OpenMath as its input, it is not system-specific, and can serve as a basis for experiments into the correct way(s) of displaying, and interacting with, mathematical expresions independently of their origin.
