Entity Matching: How Similar Is Similar

Summary: Addresses 'how similar is similar' in entity matching by pruning the space of similarity functions and thresholds. Introduces optimization to remove redundancy and efficient algorithms to pick the best functions, with experiments on real and synthetic data showing improved accuracy over baselines.
