2020 ICDM Contest on Automatic Event-centric Knowledge Graph Construction https://biendata.com/

Automatic event-centric knowledge graph construction seeks to extract events from unstructured text in a specific domain or cross multiple domains, without human intervention. Teams from both degree-granting institutions and industrial labs are invited to compete in this 2020 ICDM Contest by automatically extract events in at least two different domains.

The winning team will be awarded a prize of USD $10,000. There will also be second and third prizes. Team submissions will be judged on (a) their overall quality of the extraction, and (b) generalization ability of their methodology in multiple domains.

This year's contest is brought to you by Mininglamp Academy of Sciences and Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences. *Data sets and submission instructions will be announced by 12 June 2020 on biendata.com http://biendata.com.*
