Evaluation of Argument Facet Similarity performance on the AFS Cross-Topic dataset, measured using Pearson correlation and Spearman rank correlation.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Argument Facet Similarity |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | Argument Facet Similarity (AFS) Cross-Topic |
| Metric | Pearson Correlation Coefficient |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 4 of 4 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [Pearson Correlation Coefficient](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/argument-facet-similarity-afs-cross-topic.md?metric=Pearson%20Correlation%20Coefficient>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Spearman Rank Correlation](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/argument-facet-similarity-afs-cross-topic.md?metric=Spearman%20Rank%20Correlation>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.
