The “Paasokh” corpus (standard summarization system’s corpus) is offered in two types: single document and multi-documents. Single document corpus consists of 100 different news subjects chosen from Iran’s popular news agencies. Each of these subjects has 5 summarized abstraction which are created by trained experts. Paasokh’s multi-document corpus also has 50 subjects, each consist of 20 documents and 5 expert-generated abstract summarizations.
