  The CCKS2019 shared task was devoted to inter-personal relationship
extraction. Given two person entities and at least one sentence containing
these two entities, participating teams are asked to predict the relationship
between the entities according to a given relation list. This year, 358 teams
from various universities and organizations participated in this task. In this
paper, we present the task definition, the description of data and the
evaluation methodology used during this shared task. We also present a brief
overview of the various methods adopted by the participating teams. Finally, we
present the evaluation results.
