Abstract

Entity Resolution (ER), a core task of Data Integration, detects different entity profiles that correspond to the same real-world object. Due to its inherently quadratic complexity, a series of techniques accelerate it so that it scales to voluminous data. In this survey, we review a large number of relevant works under two different but related frameworks: Blocking and Filtering. The former restricts comparisons to entity pairs that are more likely to match, while the latter identifies quickly entity pairs that are likely to satisfy predetermined similarity thresholds. We also elaborate on hybrid approaches that combine different characteristics. For each framework we provide a comprehensive list of the relevant works, discussing them in the greater context. We conclude with the most promising directions for future work in the field.

Entity resolution with iterative blocking
SIGMOD '09: Proceedings of the 2009 ACM SIGMOD International Conference on Management of data

Entity Resolution (ER) is the problem of identifying which records in a database refer to the same real-world entity. An exhaustive ER process involves computing the similarities between pairs of records, which can be very expensive for large datasets. ...
Experimental Evaluation Among Reblocking Techniques Applied to the Entity Resolution
Advances in Databases and Information Systems
Abstract
Entity Resolution (ER) is an essential task in the data integration process, by identifying records that refer to the same object in the real world. In a naive approach, ER needs to compare all pairs of records in a dataset. This process has a ...
Collective entity resolution in relational data

Many databases contain uncertain and imprecise references to real-world entities. The absence of identifiers for the underlying entities often results in a database which contains multiple references to the same entity. This can lead not only to data ...
