Use it as a training or a test set for long context query focused summarization! It includes evidence attribution of free-form text spans from the context, making summaries more transparent and reliable!

New preprint: "Unstructured Evidence Attribution for Long Context Query Focused Summarization"
We propose *unstructured* evidence attribution for long context summarization and a synthetic dataset called SUnsET which can help models perform this task.
