A Dataset of General-Purpose Rebuttal
Table 3: Summary of annotation experiment results. Positive examples are those in which a majority of the annotators indicated that the claim is relevant (motion) or mentioned (speech, sentence).
['[BOLD] Annotated pairs', '[BOLD] # annotated', '[BOLD] # positive']
The annotation results show that it is possible to construct a concise set of general claims, such that in most speeches at least one of them will come up. Furthermore, they show that a rebuttal to these claims can be authored independently of the specific motions and speeches, while nonetheless being a plausible response in their context.
