Entity Resolution (ER) is a fundamental data quality improvement task that identifies and links records referring to the same real-world entity. Traditional ER approaches often rely on pairwise comparisons, which can be costly in terms of…
One of the most important tasks for improving data quality and the reliability of data analytics results is Entity Resolution (ER). ER aims to identify different descriptions that refer to the same real-world entity, and remains a…
Entity resolution (ER) is the problem of identifying and merging records that refer to the same real-world entity. In many scenarios, raw records are stored under heterogeneous environment. Specifically, the schemas of records may differ…
Accurate and efficient entity resolution (ER) has been a problem in data analysis and data mining projects for decades. In our work, we are interested in developing ER methods to handle big data. Good public datasets are restricted in this…
Given two large lists of records, the task in entity resolution (ER) is to find the pairs from the Cartesian product of the lists that correspond to the same real world entity. Typically, passive learning methods on such tasks require large…
Entity Resolution (ER) is typically implemented as a batch task that processes all available data before identifying duplicate records. However, applications with time or computational constraints, e.g., those running in the cloud, require…
Entity resolution (ER) is the process of identifying records that refer to the same entities within one or across multiple databases. Numerous techniques have been developed to tackle ER challenges over the years, with recent emphasis…
Entity Resolution suffers from quadratic time complexity. To increase its time efficiency, three kinds of filtering techniques are typically used for restricting its search space: (i) blocking workflows, which group together entity profiles…
Entity resolution is the problem of reconciling database references corresponding to the same real-world entities. Given the abundance of publicly available databases that have unresolved entities, we motivate the problem of query-time…
Cross-encoder (CE) models which compute similarity by jointly encoding a query-item pair perform better than embedding-based models (dual-encoders) at estimating query-item relevance. Existing approaches perform k-NN search with CE by…
