How to convert latex representation to symbolic math?

How can we convert Latex representation into symbolic math.
For example,
LaTex representation
y = \int x^2
Has an equivalent symbolic math representation as
syms x
y = int(x*x, x)
Is there a function to perform this action? I know that there exists a function latex in matlab. But I want the exact inverse of it.

Use Wolfram Alpha to import the LaTex string as MATHEMATICA code and then to convert the MATHEMATICA code to MATLAB.
I make no promises at all for how well this will work.

Sounds reasonable... I ended up comparing expressions copying from Mathematica as plain text into Matlab...
can someone send me an example code for doing this?
Thank you
