Description:		*Introduction* ACE-2 Version 1.0 was produced by the Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) and contains 519 documents totaling approximately 179,000 words of English news text. This release contains Version 1.0 of the ACE-2 corpus, created and distributed by LDC to support the Automatic Content Extraction (ACE) program. The objective of the ACE program is to develop extraction technology to support automatic processing of source language data (in the form of natural text, and as text derived from ASR and OCR). This includes classification, filtering, and selection based on the language content of the source data, i.e., based on the meaning conveyed by the data. Thus, the ACE program requires the development of technologies that automatically detect and characterize this meaning. The ACE research objectives are viewed as the detection and characterization of Entities, Relations, and Events. There are three main ACE tasks: Entity Detection and Tracking (EDT), Relation Detection and Characterization (RDC), and Event Detection and Characterization (EDC). Annotations for the ACE-2 corpus were produced by LDC to support EDT and RDC. For information about ACE annotation, including annotation guidelines, task definitions, and other project documentation, please visit LDC's ACE Project page. *Data* This publication contains two sets of data: training and devtest. Each of these sets is further divided by source: broadcast news, newspaper, and newswire. The training contains data originally developed as training material for the February 2002 evaluation and again for the September 2002 evaluation. The devtest contains data originally developed as test data for the February 2002 evaluation and later used as devtest data for the September 2002 evaluation. The broadcast and newswire source data is drawn from a subset of TDT2 Multilanguage Text Version 4.0 (LDC2001T57); this has been supplemented with additional newspaper data from the Washington Post. A portion of the training broadcast data was drawn from 1997 English Broadcast News Transcripts (HUB4) (LDC98T28). All material comes from the first half of 1998. The sources for the broadcast, newswire, and newspaper data are listed below.
