**TLDR:** The task of determining whether event mentions across sentences or documents refer to the same underlying event.

<p>Event coreference is more complex than entity coreference because events carry components such as time, actors, location, and action. In news streams, security reports, and crisis-monitoring systems, the same event is often described in multiple ways. Strong event coreference systems are critical for event consolidation and timeline construction.</p>
