Improving Math Problem Solving in Large Language Models Through Categorization and Strategy Tailoring
In this paper, we explore how to leverage large language models (LLMs) to solve mathematical problems efficiently and accurately. Specifically, we demonstrate the effectiveness of classifying problems into distinct categories and employing category-specific problem-solving strategies to improve the mathematical performance of LLMs. We design a simple yet intuitive machine learning model for problem categorization and show that its accuracy can be significantly enhanced through the development of well-curated training datasets. Additionally, we find that the performance of this simple model approaches that of state-of-the-art (SOTA) models for categorization. Moreover, the accuracy of SOTA models also benefits from the use of improved training data. Finally, we assess the advantages of using category-specific strategies when prompting LLMs and observe significantly better performance compared to non-tailored approaches.
