        <p>The AnalytiCup is an annual open competition at the International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM). The AnalytiCup ofers compelling data challenges aimed at members of the industry and academia. The 2020 edition of the CIKM AnalytiCup hosted two data challenges. The final solutions of each challenge were presented at the CIKM AnalytiCup 2020 event, which was held in conjunction with the 29th ACM International Conference on In the following, we provide a short description of each challenge including the number of teams: • COVID-19 Retweet Prediction Challenge (32 teams with more than 200 participants) pandemic. The goal of this challenge is to predict the popularity of COVID-19-related tweets in terms of the number of their retweets. Retweeting-re-posting original content without any change-is a popular function in Twitter and can be seen as amplifying the spread of original messages. This makes retweet prediction a crucial task when studying online information difusion processes during a time of crisis such as the current COVID-19 The winners of the COVID-19 Retweet Prediction Challenge received non-cash prizes challenge has been also supported by GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences, convene ”Challengers” for the safety of AI models based on diferent data modalities, such as text, image, video, and audio.

examples to lead the model misjudging.</p>
      <p>The winners of the Alibaba-Tsinghua Adversarial Challenge on Object Detection received
68000¥ provided by Alibaba Security.</p>
      <p>Each challenge brings together the competition winners presenting their solutions, academic
and industry speakers contributing to the main debates. We thank all authors and participants
for their eforts in making this edition of the CIKM AnalytiCup an active and intellectually
challenging forum of research discussions. We also thank L3S Research Center and Alibaba
Security for financially supporting CIKM AnalytiCup 2020. Finally we thank GESIS – Leibniz
Institute for the Social Sciences, Germany, Chongqing University of Technology, China,
HeinrichHeine-University Düsseldorf, Germany, and Tsinghua University, China for the material support
of the CIKM AnalytiCup 2020.</p>
      <p>In the following, we list the papers describing the winning solutions in each data challenge
