Deep Learning for Blocking in Entity Matching: A Design Space Exploration

Summary: DeepBlocker defines a DL-based blocking design space for entity matching, with eight label-free solutions using transformers and self-supervision. It shows top DL blocking beats prior DL and non-DL on dirty/text data, matches structured data, and benefits from DL+non-DL hybrids. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
