Abstract: Given its rich and flexible semantics by the graph structure, knowledge graph which describes the things in the objective world and their relationships has received extensive attentions in many fields. In objective world, event knowledge graph focuses on various dynamic events, entities and their relationships in terms of structured graph for more efficient management of massive data. In particular, the mining of dynamic event information and event logic in the application field are of great significance for understanding the laws of world development and assisting various intelligent applications. The construction techniques and typical applications of event knowledge graph are reviewed in this article, including event knowledge representation, event knowledge extraction, and event relation extraction. The challenges and research perspectives are also discussed.

Key words: event, knowledge graph, construction technology, artificial intelligence, deep learning
