Dual-Objective Fine-Tuning of BERT for Entity Matching

Summary: JointBERT dual-objective fine-tuning for entity matching: binary match and multi-class identifier prediction under partial identifier coverage. With ample data, it yields 1–5% F1 gains on seen products over single-objective BERT, but falters on unseen products; LIME-based analysis highlights emphasis on informative word classes.
