Tracking Entities in the Dynamic World: A Fast Algorithm for Matching Temporal Records
Summary: Proposes a static-first, dynamic-second approach to temporal entity matching: cluster records ignoring evolution, then merge by potential state changes. Achieves equivalent accuracy to state-of-the-art with an order-of-magnitude speedup on several temporal datasets, enabling scalable longitudinal resolution. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
