IntroductionMessage Understanding Conference (MUC) 6 Additional News Text was produced by Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) catalog number LDC96T10 and ISBN 1-58563-105-1. In the 1990s, the MUC evaluations funded the development of metrics and statistical algorithms to support government evaluations of emerging information extraction technologies. Additional information from NIST can be found at http://www.itl.nist.gov/iaui/894.02/related_projects/muc. DataThis corpus contains additional training data, which had been tagged, but not annotated. Both the MUC 6 and the MUC 6 Additional News Text are necessary in order to replicate the evaluation. All the materials are published as received from the corpus creators, without any quality control being done at the LDC (the only difference is that the files have been uncompressed). UpdatesAugust 20th, 2003: This corpus was formerly published under the name "MUC VI Text Collection." The more suitable name of "Message Understanding Conference (MUC) 6 Additional News Text" was adopted when MUC 6 (LDC2003T13), the main corpus containing the evaluation materials, was published in 2003.Restricted RightsRESTRICTED RIGHTS LEGEND: INFORMATION FROM THE WALL STREET JOURNAL AND/OR THE DOW JONES NEWS SERVICE CONTAINED HEREIN IS THE PROPERTY OF DOW JONES & COMPANY, INC.
