From Arguments to Key Points: Towards AutomaticArgument Summarization
Table 1: A sample key point-based summary, extracted from our ArgKP dataset.
['[BOLD] Homeschooling should be banned', '#Args']
In this work we propose to summarize the arguments supporting each side of the debate by mapping them to a short list of talking points, termed key points. The salience of each key point can be represented by the number of its matching arguments. Key points may be viewed as high-level arguments. They should be general enough to match a significant portion of the arguments, yet informative enough to make a useful summary.
