Deep Indexed Active Learning for Matching Heterogeneous Entity Representations

Summary: Presents DIAL, an ER method with active learning that jointly learns embeddings to boost blocking recall and matching accuracy. Index-By-Committee with PLM-based blockers and matchers; blocking vs. matching have distinct training aims, improving precision, recall, and speed on five benchmarks.
