Abstractive Text Summarization datasets
archive 2025-07-2852 datasets carry the task tag "Abstractive Text Summarization" (the task itself: Abstractive Text Summarization), ordered by the archive's paper count. Page 1 of 2: 48 shown of 52. Facet routes are this site's own (the archive records the tag string, not a page).
The archive holds 12,214 dataset rows; 12,172 are listed. 6 are withheld from every listing and count here as vandalised before snapshot (6 with contact-centre spam in the title, 0 with a spam description on a row that has no homepage, no paper and no papers counted; none with more than 1 paper, 0 with a benchmark), listed in withheld.json; 1 listed row carries a vandalised description, withheld on its page. This gate never withholds a row with a homepage or a paper that resolves, and a clean description; the content rules below withhold a row whose name is spam whatever else it carries. The gate is a phrase list: these are the rows it caught, not a claim that the rest is clean. Before that gate, the site's content rules withhold 36 more rows (invite-code, gambling, travel-booking, contact-centre and similar spam in the name or on a row with nothing real behind it); they have no page and are listed in withheld.json.
