Hi everyone 👋,

The original Multi-News dataset loader was broken because it relied on deprecated scripts (trust_remote_code) .

I've created a cleaned Parquet version of the dataset that works smoothly with the latest datasets library.

👉 Hugging Face dataset repo: Awesome075/multi_news/parquet

What’s included:

1. Train, validation, and test splits in Parquet format
2. Easy loading via:

from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("Awesome075/multi_news_parquet")

3. Fully compatible with latest 🤗 Datasets
4. Preserves the original content, only repackaged for accessibility

Acknowledgments:

This is a repackaged version of the original Multi-News dataset by Fabbri et al. (2019). Please cite the original authors if you use this dataset.

Hope this helps others who were struggling to load Multi-News 🚀
