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 was announced 12 June 2020 on
https://www.biendata.xyz/competition/icdm_2020_kgc/
