This is a copy of the [Multi-News](https://huggingface.co/datasets/multi_news) dataset, except the input source documents of its `train`, `validation` and `test` splits have been replaced by a __dense__ retriever. The retrieval pipeline used:

- __query__: The `summary` field of each example
- __corpus__: The union of all documents in the `train`, `validation` and `test` splits
- __retriever__: [`facebook/contriever-msmarco`](https://huggingface.co/facebook/contriever-msmarco) via [PyTerrier](https://pyterrier.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) with default settings
- __top-k strategy__: `"max"`, i.e. the number of documents retrieved, `k`, is set as the maximum number of documents seen across examples in this dataset, in this case `k==3`

Retrieval results on the `train` set:

| Recall@100 | Rprec | Precision@k | Recall@k |
| ----------- | ----------- | ----------- | ----------- |
| 0.8661 | 0.6867 | 0.5936 | 0.6917 |

Retrieval results on the `validation` set:

| Recall@100 | Rprec | Precision@k | Recall@k |
| ----------- | ----------- | ----------- | ----------- |
| 0.8626 | 0.6859 | 0.5874 | 0.6925 |

Retrieval results on the `test` set:

| Recall@100 | Rprec | Precision@k | Recall@k |
| ----------- | ----------- | ----------- | ----------- |
| 0.8625 | 0.6927 | 0.5938 | 0.6993 |
