Crowdsourcing Algorithms for Entity Resolution

Summary: Hybrid human–machine entity resolution on a probabilistic edge graph; designs query strategies to minimize expected human verifications by exploiting transitivity. Reveals that a claimed optimal strategy can be arbitrarily bad, offers provably guaranteed alternatives, and validates on public datasets and Facebook’s production system.
