Some notes on the Reuters Categories
David D. Lewis
3-Dec-96

  The letter W. Bruce Croft received from Phil Hayes (March 9, 1990)
gave a list of 135 TOPICS categories, which were used in HAYES89.  I
reproduce this list below.

  The email message David D. Lewis received (Nov. 26, 1990) from Phil
Hayes gave lists (which I reproduce below) for categories in these
fields:

                            number stated      number actually 
                            at top of list        on list
  ORGS                           56                  56
  EXCHANGES                      39                  39 
  PLACES (i.e. COUNTRIES)       176                 175
  PEOPLE                        269                 267

    Total                       540                 537
    Total stated in IEEE paper: 539 

  The total 674 categories mentioned in HAYES90b is the sum of 135 and
539.  So the published numbers are a little off. For the purposes of
Reuters-21578 we have taken as ground truth the actual lists of
category names, and the number of items on those lists.
