ICAIF26-EventXbench
EventX is a multimodal benchmark connecting ~9M Twitter/X posts from 1,152 KOL accounts to 11,952 Polymarket prediction markets (2021–2026). It defines seven tasks across two tiers: resolution (human-annotated ground truth) and forecast (deterministic labels from post-publication tick data).
This repository hosts the canonical KDD v2 release of the EventXBench data (tasks T1, T2, T4, T5, T6). The companion codebase is available at github.com/mlsys-io/EventXBench; the primary dataset mirror is mlsys-io/EventXBench.
Quick Start
pip install datasets
from datasets import load_dataset
# T1: train + test (2-way temporal split)
ds = load_dataset("hayshn/ICAIF26-EventXbench", "t1")
# T4/T5/T6: train + validation + test
ds = load_dataset("hayshn/ICAIF26-EventXbench", "t4")
Alternatively, use the repository loader (eventxbench.loader) with local_dir= pointing at this dataset's data directory.
Benchmark Overview (v2 counts)

T3 (Evidence Grading) is not included in this repository. See the primary mirror for the rebuilt T3 artifacts (train + gold).
Splits
| Task | Train | Validation | Test | Split policy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| T1 | 709 | — | 275 | Event- and market-group atomic, temporal 60/0/40 |
| T2 | 543 | 2,500 | 2,500 | Train: silver + single-human; val/test: three-reviewer human gold, zero cross-split overlap |
| T4 | 2,875 | 2,268 | 5,791 | Event-cluster atomic temporal (2025-05→2026-06) |
| T5 | 889 | 692 | 1,761 | Same temporal policy as T4 (non-flat subset) |
| T6 | 766 | 1,225 | 2,592 | Event-cluster atomic temporal × horizons {1,3,7}d |
Task Descriptions
- T1 – Market Volume Prediction: predict the creation-cohort volume percentile of a market from pre-market social signals (post links within 7 days, cosine+entity-verified).
- T2 – Post-to-Market Linking: given a post and a frozen BGE-M3 candidate set (top-10), select the addressed market or
NONE. - T4 – Market Movement Prediction: predict the YES-price direction (
up/down/flat) and magnitude bucket at 1/3/7-day horizons for a market-day bundle. - T5 – Volume & Price Impact: predict continuous
price_impactandvolume_multipliertargets and thedecay_class(transient/sustained/reversal). - T6 – Cross-Market Propagation: predict whether a bundle's move propagates to sibling markets (graph v2, 35,526 edges / 14,739 nodes), labeled
no_effect/primary_only/cross_marketat 1/3/7-day horizons.

Leakage Control
All forecast tasks (T1, T4, T5, T6) use event-disjoint temporal splits with an embargo ≥ the maximum label horizon. Features are computed as-of the decision time; labels are strictly in the future. T4/T5/T6 attach confound_flag when a different-author high-evidence post appears within the label window. T2's val/test sets are sealed human gold with zero instance, tweet, or exact-text overlap across splits.
Privacy
Raw tweet text is not included for non-T2 tasks; records carry tweet_ids for rehydration. T2's val/test include post text under the dataset's Data Usage Agreement (ID-only distribution otherwise). Market data from Polymarket is fully included.
