<div dir="ltr">Hi, for research purposes there is the METER Corpus: <a href="http://nlp.shef.ac.uk/meter/">http://nlp.shef.ac.uk/meter/</a>. Let me know if you want a copy. I helped create the corpus to assess methods for detecting text reuse.<div>

<font face="Calibri">A few years ago Adam Kilgarriff & I wrote a
paper evaluating various metrics for comparing corpora, and as
part of that process created a set of 'known similarity corpora'
which included various newspaper sources. It's documented here:<br>

Not sure we still have the data but it shouldn't be too difficult
to recreate (feel free to contact me offline)<br>

corpora members,
<br>
<br>
I am looking for a gold standard to train/evaluate document
similarity metrics.
<br>
Can anyone suggest a suitable corpus for such purposes. I'm
especially interested in similarity between newspaper articles.
<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,
