80
 
81
- A model trained on this dataset should summarise the statistical and other information from a basketball game. This will be focused on a single game, although facts from prior games, or aggregate statistics over many games can and should be used for comparison where appropriate. There no single common narrative, although summaries usually start with who player, when, where, and the score. They then provide high level commentary on what the difference in the game was (why the winner won). breakdowns of statistics for prominent players follow, winning team first. Finally, the upcoming schedule for both teams is usually included. There are, however, other types of fact that can be included, and other narrative structures.

- ## Dataset in GEM
1196
 
1197
- ### Rationale
1198
 
1199
- #### What does this dataset contribute toward better generation evaluation and why is it part of GEM?
1200
 
1201
- This dataset contains a data analytics problem in the classic sense (Reiter, 2007, https://aclanthology.org/W07-2315). That is, there is a large amount of data from which insights need to be selected. Further, the insights should be both from simple shallow queries (such as dirext transcriptions of the properties of a subject, i.e., a player and their statistics), as well as aggregated (how a player has done over time). There is far more on the data side than is required to be realised, and indeed, could be practically realised. This depth of data analytics problem does not exist in other datasets.
1202
 
1203
- #### Do other datasets for the high level task exist?
1204
 
1205
- no
 
 
1206
 
1207
- #### What aspect of model ability can be measured with this dataset?
1208
 
1209
- Many, if not all aspects of data-to-text systems can be measured with this dataset. It has complex data analytics, meaninful document planning (10-15 sentence documents with a narrative structure), as well as microplanning and realisation requirements. Finding models to handle this volume of data, as well as methods for meaninfully evaluate generations is a very open question.
 
 
1210
 
1211
- ### GEM Additional Curation
1212
 
1213
- #### Has the GEM version of the dataset been modified in any way (data, processing, splits) from the original curated data?
 
 
1214
 
1215
- no
1216
 
1217
- #### Does GEM provide additional splits to the dataset?
1218
 
1219
- no
1220
 
1221
- ### Getting Started
 
 
1222
 
1223
- #### Getting started with in-depth research on the task. Add relevant pointers to resources that researchers can consult when they want to get started digging deeper into the task.

1251
 
1252
- #### List and describe the purpose of the metrics and evaluation methodology (including human evaluation) that the dataset creators used when introducing this task.
1253
 
1254
- BLEU is the only off-the-shelf metric commonly used. Works have also used custom metrics like RG (Wiseman et al, 2017: https://aclanthology.org/D17-1239), and a recent shared task explored other metrics and their corrolation with human evaluation (Thomson & Reiter, 2021: https://aclanthology.org/2021.inlg-1.23).

1258
- yes
 
 
1259
 
1260
- #### What evaluation approaches have others used?
1261
 
 
 
1262
  Most results from prior works use the original Rotowire dataset, which has train/validation/test contamination. For results of BLEU and RG on the relational database format of SportSett, as a guide, see Thomson et al, 2020:
1263

1264
 
1265
- #### What are the most relevant previous results for this task/dataset?
1266
 
1267
- The results on this dataset are largely unexplored, as is the selection of suitable metrics that correlate with human judgment. See Thomson et al, 2021 (https://aclanthology.org/2021.inlg-1.23) for an overview, and Kasner et al (2021) for the best performing metric at the time of writing (https://aclanthology.org/2021.inlg-1.25).

1269
- ## Dataset Curation
1270
 
1271
- ### Original Curation
1272
 
1273
- #### Original curation rationale
1274
 
1275
- The references texts were taken from the existing dataset RotoWire-FG (Wang, 2019: https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/W19-8639), which is in turn based on Rotowire (Wiseman et al, 2017: https://aclanthology.org/D17-1239). The rationale behind this dataset was to re-structure the data such that aggregate statistics over multiple games, as well as upcoming game schedules could be included, moving the dataset from snapshots of single games, to a format where almost everything that could be present in the reference texts could be found in the data.
1276
 
1277
- #### What was the communicative goal?
1278
 
1279
- Create a summary of a basketball, with insightful facts about the game, teams, and players, both within the game, withing periods during the game, and over the course of seasons/careers where appropriate. This is a data-to-text problem in the classic sense (Reiter, 2007: https://aclanthology.org/W07-2315) in that it has a difficult data analystics state, in addition to ordering and transcription of selected facts.
 
 
1280
 
1281
- #### Is the dataset aggregated from different data sources?

- #### If found, where from?
 
 
1299
 
1300
- Multiple websites
1301
 
1302
- #### What further information do we have on the language producers?
1303
 
1304
- None
1305
 
1306
- #### Does the language in the dataset focus on specific topics? How would you describe them?
 
 
 
1307
 
1308
- Summaries of basketball games (in the NBA).
1309
 
1310
- #### Was the text validated by a different worker or a data curator?
 
 
1311
 
1312
- not validated
1313
 
1314
- #### How was the text data pre-processed? (Enter N/A if the text was not pre-processed)
1315
 
1316
- It retains the original tokenization scheme employed by Wang 2019
1317
 
1318
- #### Were text instances selected or filtered?
 
 
1319
 
1320
- manually
1321
 
1322
- #### What were the selection criteria?
 
 
1323
 
1324
- Games from the 2014 through 2018 seasons were selected. Within these seasons games are not filtered, all are present, but this was an arbitrary solution from the original RotoWirte-FG dataset.
1325
 
1326
- ### Structured Annotations
1327
 
1328
- #### Does the dataset have additional annotations for each instance?
1329
 
1330
- none
 
 
 
1331
 
1332
- #### Was an annotation service used?
1333
 
1334
- no
 
 
1335
 
1336
- ### Consent
1337
 
1338
- #### Was there a consent policy involved when gathering the data?
 
 
1339
 
1340
- no
1341
 
1342
- #### If not, what is the justification for reusing the data?
1343
 
1344
- The dataset consits of a pre-existing dataset, as well as publically available facts.
1345
 
1346
- ### Private Identifying Information (PII)
 
 
1347
 
1348
- #### Does the source language data likely contain Personal Identifying Information about the data creators or subjects?
1349
 
1350
- unlikely
1351
 
1352
- #### What categories of PII are present or suspected in the data?
1353
 
1354
- generic PII
1355
 
1356
- #### Did the curators use any automatic/manual method to identify PII in the dataset?
1357
 
1358
- no identification
 
 
1359
 
1360
- ### Maintenance
1361
 
1362
- #### Does the original dataset have a maintenance plan?
1363
 
1364
- no
1365
 
1366
- ## Broader Social Context
 
 
1367
 
1368
- ### Previous Work on the Social Impact of the Dataset
1369
 
1370
- #### Are you aware of cases where models trained on the task featured in this dataset ore related tasks have been used in automated systems?
1371
 
1372
- no
1373
 
1374
- ### Impact on Under-Served Communities
 
 
1375
 
1376
- #### Does this dataset address the needs of communities that are traditionally underserved in language technology, and particularly language generation technology? Communities may be underserved for exemple because their language, language variety, or social or geographical context is underepresented in NLP and NLG resources (datasets and models).
1377
 
1378
- no
 
 
1379
 
1380
- ### Discussion of Biases
1381
 
1382
- #### Are there documented social biases in the dataset? Biases in this context are variations in the ways members of different social categories are represented that can have harmful downstream consequences for members of the more disadvantaged group.
 
 
1383
 
1384
- yes
1385
 
1386
- #### Provide links to and summaries of works analyzing these biases.
1387
 
1388
- Unaware of any work, but, this is a dataset considting solely of summaries of mens professional basketball games. It does not cover different levels of the sport, or different genders, and all pronouns are likely to be male unless a specific player is referred to by other pronouns in the training text. This makes it difficult to train systems where gender can be specified as an attribute, although it is an interesting, open problem that could be investigated using the dataset.
1389
 
1390
- #### Does the distribution of language producers in the dataset accurately represent the full distribution of speakers of the language world-wide? If not, how does it differ?
1391
 
1392
- No, it is very specifically American English from the sports journalism domain.
1393
 
1394
- ## Considerations for Using the Data
 
 
1395
 
1396
- ### PII Risks and Liability
1397
 
1398
- #### Considering your answers to the PII part of the Data Curation Section, describe any potential privacy to the data subjects and creators risks when using the dataset.
1399
 
1400
- All information relating to persons is of public record.
1401
 
1402
- ### Licenses
 
 
1403
 
1404
- #### Based on your answers in the Intended Use part of the Data Overview Section, which of the following best describe the copyright and licensing status of the dataset?
1405
 
1406
- public domain
 
 
1407
 
1408
- #### Based on your answers in the Language part of the Data Curation Section, which of the following best describe the copyright and licensing status of the underlying language data?
1409
 
1410
- public domain
1411
 
1412
- ### Known Technical Limitations
1413
 
1414
- #### Describe any known technical limitations, such as spurrious correlations, train/test overlap, annotation biases, or mis-annotations, and cite the works that first identified these limitations when possible.
 
 
1415
 
1416
- SportSett resolved the major overlap problems of RotoWire, although some overlap is unavoidable. For example, whilst it is not possible to find career totals and other historic information for all players (the data only goes back to 2014), it is possible to do so for some players. It is unavoidable that some data which is aggregated, exists in its base form in previous partitions. The season-based partition scheme heavily constrains this however.
1417
 
1418
- #### When using a model trained on this dataset in a setting where users or the public may interact with its predictions, what are some pitfalls to look out for? In particular, describe some applications of the general task featured in this dataset that its curation or properties make it less suitable for.
 
 
1419
 
1420
- Factual accuray continues to be a problem, systems may incorrectly represent the facts of the game.
1421
 
1422
- #### What are some discouraged use cases of a model trained to maximize the proposed metrics on this dataset? In particular, think about settings where decisions made by a model that performs reasonably well on the metric my still have strong negative consequences for user or members of the public.
 
 
1423
 
1424
- Using the RG metric to maximise the number of true facts in a generate summary is not nececeraly

171
+ <!-- info: Provide a short description of the communicative goal of a model trained for this task on this dataset. -->
172
+ <!-- scope: periscope -->
173
+ A model trained on this dataset should summarise the statistical and other information from a basketball game. This will be focused on a single game, although facts from prior games, or aggregate statistics over many games can and should be used for comparison where appropriate. There no single common narrative, although summaries usually start with who player, when, where, and the score. They then provide high level commentary on what the difference in the game was (why the winner won). breakdowns of statistics for prominent players follow, winning team first. Finally, the upcoming schedule for both teams is usually included. There are, however, other types of fact that can be included, and other narrative structures.

+ ### Dataset Structure
210
 
211
+ #### Data Fields
212
 
213
+ <!-- info: List and describe the fields present in the dataset. -->
214
+ <!-- scope: telescope -->
215
+ Each instance in the dataset has five fields.
216
 
217
+ 1. "sportsett_id": This is a unique id as used in the original SportSett database. It starts with '1' with the first instance in the train-set and ends with '6150' with the last instance in test-set.
218
 
219
+ 2. "gem_id": This is a unique id created as per GEM's requirement which follows the `GEM-${DATASET_NAME}-${SPLIT-NAME}-${id}` pattern.
220
+
221
+ 3. "game": This field contains a dictionary with information about current game. It has information such as date on which the game was played alongwith the stadium, city, state where it was played.
222
+
223
+ 4. "teams": This filed is a dictionary of multiple nested dictionaries. On the highest level, it has two keys: 'home' and 'vis', which provide the stats for home team and visiting team of the game. Both are dictionaries with same structure. Each dictionary will contain team's information such as name of the team, their total wins/losses in current season, their conference standing, the SportSett ids for their current and previous games. Apart from these general information, they also have the box- and line- scores for the team in the game. Box score is the stats of players from the team at the end of the game, while line score along with the whole game stats is divided into quarters and halves as well as the extra-time (if happened in the game). After these scores, there is another field of next-game, which gives general information about team's next game such as the place and opponent's name of the next game.
224
+
225
+ 5. "summaries": This is a list of summaries for each game. Some games will have more than one summary, in that case, the list will have more than one entries. Each summary in the list is a string which can be tokenised by a space, following the practices in RotoWire-FG dataset ((Wang, 2019)[https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/W19-8639]).
226
+
227
+ #### Reason for Structure
228
+
229
+ <!-- info: How was the dataset structure determined? -->
230
+ <!-- scope: microscope -->
231
+ The structure mostly follows the original structure defined in RotoWire dataset ((Wiseman et. al. 2017)[https://aclanthology.org/D17-1239/]) with some modifications (such as game and next-game keys) address the problem of information gap between input and output data ((Thomson et. al. 2020)[https://aclanthology.org/2020.inlg-1.6/]).

1337
+ ### Rationale for Inclusion in GEM
1338
 
1339
+ #### Why is the Dataset in GEM?
1340
 
1341
+ <!-- info: What does this dataset contribute toward better generation evaluation and why is it part of GEM? -->
1342
+ <!-- scope: microscope -->
1343
+ This dataset contains a data analytics problem in the classic sense ((Reiter, 2007)[https://aclanthology.org/W07-2315]). That is, there is a large amount of data from which insights need to be selected. Further, the insights should be both from simple shallow queries (such as dirext transcriptions of the properties of a subject, i.e., a player and their statistics), as well as aggregated (how a player has done over time). There is far more on the data side than is required to be realised, and indeed, could be practically realised. This depth of data analytics problem does not exist in other datasets.

1352
 
1353
+ <!-- info: What aspect of model ability can be measured with this dataset? -->
1354
+ <!-- scope: periscope -->
1355
+ Many, if not all aspects of data-to-text systems can be measured with this dataset. It has complex data analytics, meaninful document planning (10-15 sentence documents with a narrative structure), as well as microplanning and realisation requirements. Finding models to handle this volume of data, as well as methods for meaninfully evaluate generations is a very open question.

1415
+ <!-- scope: microscope -->
1416
+ BLEU is the only off-the-shelf metric commonly used. Works have also used custom metrics like RG (Wiseman et al, 2017: https://aclanthology.org/D17-1239), and a recent shared task explored other metrics and their corrolation with human evaluation ((Thomson & Reiter, 2021)[https://aclanthology.org/2021.inlg-1.23]).

1442
 
1443
+ #### Original Curation Rationale
1444
 
1445
+ <!-- info: Original curation rationale -->
1446
+ <!-- scope: telescope -->
1447
+ The references texts were taken from the existing dataset RotoWire-FG (Wang, 2019: https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/W19-8639), which is in turn based on Rotowire (Wiseman et al, 2017: https://aclanthology.org/D17-1239). The rationale behind this dataset was to re-structure the data such that aggregate statistics over multiple games, as well as upcoming game schedules could be included, moving the dataset from snapshots of single games, to a format where almost everything that could be present in the reference texts could be found in the data.
1448
 
1449
+ #### Communicative Goal
1450
 
1451
+ <!-- info: What was the communicative goal? -->
1452
+ <!-- scope: periscope -->
1453
+ Create a summary of a basketball, with insightful facts about the game, teams, and players, both within the game, withing periods during the game, and over the course of seasons/careers where appropriate. This is a data-to-text problem in the classic sense (Reiter, 2007: https://aclanthology.org/W07-2315) in that it has a difficult data analystics state, in addition to ordering and transcription of selected facts.
1454
 
1455
+ #### Sourced from Different Sources

+ Unaware of any work, but, this is a dataset considting solely of summaries of mens professional basketball games. It does not cover different levels of the sport, or different genders, and all pronouns are likely to be male unless a specific player is referred to by other pronouns in the training text. This makes it difficult to train systems where gender can be specified as an attribute, although it is an interesting, open problem that could be investigated using the dataset.

1659
+ SportSett resolved the major overlap problems of RotoWire, although some overlap is unavoidable. For example, whilst it is not possible to find career totals and other historic information for all players (the data only goes back to 2014), it is possible to do so for some players. It is unavoidable that some data which is aggregated, exists in its base form in previous partitions. The season-based partition scheme heavily constrains this however.
