Mining Document Collections to Facilitate Accurate Approximate Entity Matching

Summary: Mines document collections to learn entity-name variants, expanding reference tables so robust corpus-aware approximate matching becomes efficient exact lookup. The architecture improves scalability while preserving accuracy over standalone string similarity. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
