Financial entity identification and information integration (FEIII) 2019 challenge: The report of the organizing committee

This report presents the goals and outcomes of the 2019 Financial Entity Identification and Information Integration (FEIII) Challenge. We describe two challenge datasets and tasks. FEIII SHIP was a bill of lading dataset for incoming shipments to the United States and the task was to identify the major shippers for some product, from some country. FEIII CALI included state and local regulatory data from California, and the task was entity linkage for San Francisco restaurants. The report summarizes plans for the 2020 Challenge and the Business Open Knowledge Network (BOKN).
