MDedup: Duplicate Detection with Matching Dependencies

Summary: MDedup performs fully automatic, rule-based duplicate detection by discovering matching dependencies and learning which to select using dataset features and gold standards. A boosting step improves MD recall, achieving up to 94% F-measure and 100% precision without domain-specific configuration. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
