- It contains only the documents with a single category label and only the categories that have at least 1 document in both the training and testing sets, same as the filtering scheme by H. Guan et al., 2009. It's suitable for text classification, especially using the models with their own tokenizers such as BERT, which shows good performance on the plain text.

Maybe NLTK version of Reuters-21578 has some duplicated documents over different categories. (c.f. H.
