MSR Abstractive Text Compression Dataset

This dataset contains sentences and short paragraphs with corresponding shorter (compressed) versions. There are up to five compressions for each input text, together with quality judgements of their meaning preservation and grammaticality. The dataset is derived using source texts from the Open American National Corpus (ww.anc.org) and crowd-sourcing. More details can be found in the included README and the paper: “A dataset and evaluation metrics for abstractive compression of sentences and short paragraphs” [Toutanova, Brockett, Tran, and Amershi, EMNLP 2016].
