12th Workshop on
Automated Knowledge Base Construction

Co-located with ACL 2027 in Kyoto, Japan — August 18 or 19, 2027. The exact workshop day is TBD.

The Automated Knowledge Base Construction (AKBC) workshop brings together researchers and practitioners working on the construction, integration, and use of structured knowledge. Knowledge bases can provide factual grounding, provenance, and reliable reasoning for language technologies, including large language models.

AKBC continues a series of previous editions: as a workshop in 2026 at EMNLP, as an independent conference in 2022, 2021, 2020, and 2019; , 2017 at NIPS, in 2016 at NAACL, in 2014 at NIPS, in 2013 at CIKM, in 2012 at NAACL; and in 2010 as a stand-alone event in Grenoble, France.

Shared Task

AKBC 2027 will include a shared task on using large language models (LLMs) for knowledge base (KB) construction. Further details will be announced soon.

Important Dates

Deadlines and other important dates: TBD.
