2001 DOCUMENTS

NIST produced 60 reference sets, 30 for training and 30 for testing. Each set contained documents, per-document summaries, and multi-document summaries, with sets defined by different types of criteria such as event sets, opinion sets, etc. The data were password-protected. The password was provided by NIST to participants who have the required forms (see above) on file at NIST.
