# RecognaSumm Dataset

## Introduction
RecognaSumm is a novel and comprehensive database specifically designed for the task of automatic text summarization in Portuguese. RecognaSumm stands out due to its diverse origin, composed of news collected from a variety of information sources, including agencies and online news portals. The database was constructed using web scraping techniques and careful curation, re sulting in a rich and representative collection of documents covering various topics and journalis tic styles. The creation of RecognaSumm aims to fill a significant void in Portuguese language summarization research, providing a training and evaluation foundation that can be used for the development and enhancement of automated summarization models.
