## Dataset Description

- **Homepage:** []()
- **Repository:** https://github.com/recitalAI/MLSUM
- **Paper:** https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/2020.emnlp-main.647/
- **Point of Contact:** [email](thomas@recital.ai)
- **Size of downloaded dataset files:** 1.83 GB
- **Size of the generated dataset:** 4.86 GB
- **Total amount of disk used:** 6.69 GB

### Dataset Summary

We present MLSUM, the first large-scale MultiLingual SUMmarization dataset.
Obtained from online newspapers, it contains 1.5M+ article/summary pairs in five different languages -- namely, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Turkish.
Together with English newspapers from the popular CNN/Daily mail dataset, the collected data form a large scale multilingual dataset which can enable new research directions for the text summarization community.
We report cross-lingual comparative analyses based on state-of-the-art systems.
These highlight existing biases which motivate the use of a multi-lingual dataset.
