What primary task does the dataset support?
Data-to-Text
Provide a short description of the communicative goal of a model trained for this task on this dataset.
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.

Describe and name the splits in the dataset if there are more than one.
Train: NBA seasons - 2014, 2015, & 2016; total instances - 3690 Validation: NBA seasons - 2017; total instances - 1230 Test: NBA seasons - 2018; total instances - 1230
Describe any criteria for splitting the data, if used. If there are differences between the splits (e.g., if the training annotations are machine-generated and the dev and test ones are created by humans, or if different numbers of annotators contributed to each example), describe them here.
The splits were created as per different NBA seasons. All the games in regular season (no play-offs) are added in the dataset
Dataset in GEM
Rationale
What does this dataset contribute toward better generation evaluation and why is it part of GEM?
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.
Do other datasets for the high level task exist?
no
What aspect of model ability can be measured with this dataset?
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.
GEM Additional Curation
Has the GEM version of the dataset been modified in any way (data, processing, splits) from the original curated data?
no
Does GEM provide additional splits to the dataset?
no

What metrics are typically used for this task?
BLEU
List and describe the purpose of the metrics and evaluation methodology (including human evaluation) that the dataset creators used when introducing this task.
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).
Are previous results available?
yes
What evaluation approaches have others used?
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: https://aclanthology.org/2020.inlg-1.6.
What are the most relevant previous results for this task/dataset?
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).
Dataset Curation
Original Curation
Original curation rationale
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.
What was the communicative goal?
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.
Is the dataset aggregated from different data sources?
yes
List the sources (one per line)
RotoWire-FG (https://www.rotowire.com). Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page) Basketball Reference (https://www.basketball-reference.com)
Language Data
How was the language data obtained?
Found
If found, where from?
Multiple websites
What further information do we have on the language producers?
None
Does the language in the dataset focus on specific topics? How would you describe them?
Summaries of basketball games (in the NBA).
Was the text validated by a different worker or a data curator?
not validated
How was the text data pre-processed? (Enter N/A if the text was not pre-processed)
It retains the original tokenization scheme employed by Wang 2019
Were text instances selected or filtered?
manually
What were the selection criteria?
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.
Structured Annotations
Does the dataset have additional annotations for each instance?
none
Was an annotation service used?
no
Consent
Was there a consent policy involved when gathering the data?
no
If not, what is the justification for reusing the data?
The dataset consits of a pre-existing dataset, as well as publically available facts.
Private Identifying Information (PII)
Does the source language data likely contain Personal Identifying Information about the data creators or subjects?
unlikely
What categories of PII are present or suspected in the data?
generic PII
Did the curators use any automatic/manual method to identify PII in the dataset?
no identification
Maintenance
Does the original dataset have a maintenance plan?
no
Broader Social Context
Previous Work on the Social Impact of the Dataset
Are you aware of cases where models trained on the task featured in this dataset ore related tasks have been used in automated systems?
no
Impact on Under-Served Communities
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).
no
Discussion of Biases
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.
yes
Provide links to and summaries of works analyzing these biases.
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.
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?
No, it is very specifically American English from the sports journalism domain.
Considerations for Using the Data

All information relating to persons is of public record.
Licenses
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?
public domain
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?
public domain
Known Technical Limitations
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.
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.
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.
Factual accuray continues to be a problem, systems may incorrectly represent the facts of the game.
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.
Using the RG metric to maximise the number of true facts in a generate summary is not nececeraly
