Schema-agnostic vs Schema-based Configurations for Blocking Methods on Homogeneous Data

Summary: Comparative study of schema-agnostic blocking vs. schema-based blocking for entity resolution. Schema-agnostic blocking yields higher recall with higher compute, enabling schema-free operation across heterogeneous data; validated on 9 methods and 11 benchmarks.
