The AQUAINT Corpus of English News Text dataset consists of text data from English news wires and is mainly used for text summarization.

The dataset, which includes approximately 375 million words from Xinhua News Agency, The New York Times News Service, and The Associated Press Worldstream News Service, was compiled by the Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) for the AQUAINT project for use in an official benchmark evaluation by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

The AQUAINT Corpus of English News Text dataset was released by the University of Pennsylvania in September 2002, and its main publisher was David Graff.
