Newsroom: A Dataset of 1.3 Million Summaries with Diverse Extractive Strategies
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
We present NEWSROOM, a summarization dataset of 1.3 million articles and summaries written by authors and editors in newsrooms of 38 major news publications. Extracted from search and social media metadata between 1998 and 2017, these high-quality summaries demonstrate high diversity of summarization styles. In particular, the summaries combine abstractive and extractive strategies, borrowing words and phrases from articles at varying rates. We analyze the extraction strategies used in NEWSROOM summaries against other datasets to quantify the diversity and difficulty of our new data, and train existing methods on the data to evaluate its utility and challenges.
Key facts. Cited by 292 papers in the map (data through 7 Oct 2026). First posted on arXiv 30 Apr 2018.
