+ ### Dataset Summary
48
+
49
+ The Multi-LexSum dataset is a collection of 9,280 such legal case summaries. Multi-LexSum is distinct from other datasets in its **multiple target summaries, each at a different granularity** (ranging from one-sentence “extreme” summaries to multi-paragraph narrations of over five hundred words). It presents a challenging multi-document summarization task given **the long length of the source documents**, often exceeding two hundred pages per case. Unlike other summarization datasets that are (semi-)automatically curated, Multi-LexSum consists of **expert-authored summaries**: the experts—lawyers and law students—are trained to follow carefully created guidelines, and their work is reviewed by an additional expert to ensure quality.

60
+
61
+ | Field | Description |
62
+ | ------------: | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------: |
63
+ | id | `(str)` The case ID |
64
+ | sources | `(List[str])` A list of strings for the text extracted from the source documents |
65
+ | summary/long | `(str)` The long (multi-paragraph) summary for this case |
66
+ | summary/short | `(Optional[str])` The short (one-paragraph) summary for this case |
67
+ | summary/tiny | `(Optional[str])` The tiny (one-sentence) summary for this case |

+ from datasets import load_dataset
73
+
74
+ multi_lexsum = load_dataset("allenai/multi_lexsum", name="v20220616")
75
+ # Download multi_lexsum locally and load it as a Dataset object
76
+
77
+ example = multi_lexsum["validation"][0] # The first instance of the dev set
78
+ example["sources"] # A list of source document text for the case
79
+
80
+ for sum_len in ["long", "short", "tiny"]:
81
+ print(example["summary/" + sum_len]) # Summaries of three lengths
82
+ ```
