Certus: An Effective Entity Resolution Approach with Graph Differential Dependencies (GDDs)
Summary: Proposes Graph Differential Dependencies (GDDs) for approximate ER matching, enabling efficient discovery. Certus leverages a non-redundant GDD set to boost ER precision with minimal recall loss; validated on five real datasets and a proprietary DB.
