  This README describes Distribution 1.0 of the Reuters RCV1/RCV2 Multilingual, Multiview Text Categorization Test collection, a resource for research in information retrieval, machine learning, and other corpus-based research. The test collection contains feature characteristics of documents written in five different languages (English, French, German, Spanish and Italian) but sharing the same set of categories. In order to exploit information available from other languages, we used Machine Translation to produce translations of each document in the collection in all other languages before indexing. We used the Portage system for translations \cite{USLJ07}. For each language, we thus have the feature characteristics of all documents written in that given language as well as the feature characteristics of documents translated into that language.

For each language and each class, we sampled up to 5000 documents from the RCV1 (for English) or RCV2 (for other languages). Documents belonging to more than one of our 6 classes were assigned the label of their smallest class. This resulted in 12-30K documents per language, and 11-34K documents per class.
