"text": "Key Point Analysis (KPA) was introduced in Bar-Haim et al. (2020a,b ) as a challenging NLP task with tight relations to Computational Argumentation, Opinion Analysis, and Summarization, and with many practical applications (Bar-Haim et al., 2021) . Given a potentially large collection of relatively short, opinionated texts focused on a topic of interest, the goal of KPA is to produce a succinct list of the most prominent key-points (KPs) in the input corpus, along with their relative prevalence. Thus, the output of KPA is a bullet-like summary, with an important quantitative angle. Successful solutions to KPA can be used to gain better insights from public opinions as expressed in social media, surveys, and so forth, giving rise to a new form of a communication channel between decision makers and people that might be impacted by the decision.",

MDS techniques are typically querybased and extractive, where models select a set of non-redundant sentences that are most relevant to the query to include in the summary (Xu and Lapata, 2020) . A few studies (Liu et al., 2018; Shapira et al., 2021) have explored generating the most salient queries the users might be interested in.

"text": "Given a collection of arguments, with either pro or con stance towards a certain debatable topic, the goal of the KPA-2021 task is to generate a KPbased quantitative summary. The Generation Track requires models to perform the entire task -i.e., generate a list of KPs for each topic and stance, and then predict for each argument in this topic and stance the confidence by which it is matched to each KP. Since this is rather challenging we also established the Matching Track, in which a set of KPs, generated by an expert per topic and stance, is given as part of the input, requiring models to only predict a match confidence score for each argument in the input, towards each of the provided KPs. In both tracks, the confidence score expresses the model's confidence that the KP represents the essence of the argument, and can be associated with it for the purpose of a KP-based quantitative summary. Since in the ground truth data (defined in the next section), only 5% of the arguments map to multiple KPs, we take a simplifying approach in the evaluation, where we consider for each argument only the KP with the highest confidence score as true positive.",

Rather, it should also provide a threshold on the confidence that determines whether the highest scoring KP is matched to the argument, or whether this argument has no matching KP. In this shared task, we opted for a simpler approach, in which the submitted models are not required to determine the threshold. Rather, we evaluate all models by considering only the top 50% of the argument-KP pairs, as ranked by the confidence scores of all pairs.",

"text": "For KPA-2021 we use a data set covering a set of debatable topics, where for each topic and stance, a set of triplets of the form <argument, KP, label> is provided. The data set is based on the ArgKP data set (Bar-Haim et al., 2020a), which contains arguments contributed by the crowd on 28 debatable topics, split by their stance towards the topic, and KPs written by an expert for those topics. As described in (Bar-Haim et al., 2020a) , crowd annotations were collected to determine whether a KP represents an argument, i.e., is a match for an argument, and based on these annotations every argument-KP pair received a label that can take three values: (i) positive -60% or more of the annotations determined there is a match; (ii) negative -15% or less of the annotations determined there is a match; and (iii) undecided -neither positive nor negative. For example, in the pro stance towards the topic \"Homeschooling should be banned\", and for the KP \"Mainstream schools are essential to develop social skills\", the argument \"children can not learn to interact with their peers when taught at home\" was labeled as positive and the argument \"homeschooling causes a decline in education\" as negative. The arguments in ArgKP are a subset of the IBM-ArgQ-Rank-30kArgs data set (Gretz et al., 2020) , which consists of 30K crowd-sourced arguments on 71 controversial topics, where each argument is labeled for its stance towards the topic as well as for its quality.",

Finally, given the ground truth data, Average Precision (AP, Turpin and Scholer (2006) ), is calculated per topic and stance.

Considering a prediction of undecided pairs as a false prediction is too strict, since > 15% of the annotators found this match correct, and hence it is not entirely wrong. Discarding predictions of undecided pairs from the set of a model's predictions, as was done in (Bar-Haim et al., 2020a), is not relevant for KPA-2021, as it would have rendered the evaluation process inconsistent across different models. We therefore relied on two measures for this track -relaxed and strict mAP. In the strict evaluation score, undecided pairs are considered as wrong predictions, while in the relaxed evaluation score they are considered as correct, i.e., true positives. The final rank of a model in this track is the average between the rank of the model in the strict score and its rank in the relaxed score.",

"text": "Accurate matching of arguments to KPs aims to properly reflect the prevalence of each KP in the data to facilitate more informed decision making. In this section we analyze how well different models were able to reproduce the presumably true distribution of KPs in the input data. To that end, we focus on the Matching Track, and consider the distribution of the expert KPs as the ground truth distribution. As can be seen in the top row of Figure 2(a) , the five KPs provided by the expert for this topic and stance are not equally represented in the argument set. Nearly 40% of the arguments were matched by the annotators to \"Social media regulation is required to deal with malicious users\" (kp-1-9); around 30% were matched to \"Social media regulation can help to deal with negative content\" (kp-1-8); and so on. Correspondingly, for each model submitted in this track, we compare the distribution of KPs as predicted by its matching to the manually obtained ground truth distribution. To that end, we use the Jensen Shannon divergence (JSd). The smaller the divergence, the more accurate is the summary generated by a model (based on the 50% of the arguments that pass the threshold). We find that the average topic-stance JSd for the top 5 ranking models ranges from 0.152 to 0.238 (see Table 7 in the appendix for more details). Interestingly, the models which perform best in the Matching Track evaluation, i.e., have the highest mAP scores, are not those with the lowest JSd scores. This can also be seen in Figure 2(b) . The rank of all models based on their JSd score is plotted vs. their rank in the matching task, for all topics and stances. Although it is evident that models which perform poorly on the matching task are also ranked low by JSd, the overall correlation is low. In other words, a model with sub-optimal matching capabilities may still perform relatively well in capturing the overall distribution of the KPs in the input data.",

Importantly, the expert produced KPs a priori, without seeing the actual set of arguments; while the models generated KPs based on the input arguments. Inspection of the generated KPs suggests that correspondingly, some KPs were perhaps overlooked by the expert. For example, BarH generated a KP concerning keeping schools safe, and another one concerning prevention of pandemic outbreaks, both of which are not in the expert set, even though there are expert KPs that are related. In Table 5 we show an example of one expert KP, to which we manually matched generated KPs from the top 3 models, as an anecdotal distribution comparison. In this example, BarH and SMatchToPR extracted the exact same KP, yet in BarH it maps to 35% of the arguments, which is in line with the weight of this KP in the expert ground truth, while SMatchToPR maps it to a much larger fraction of the arguments.",
