Entity Matching with Active Monotone Classification

Summary: Recasts entity matching as active learning of a monotone classifier over feature points, querying experts only on selected pairs. Gives cost–accuracy tradeoffs with provably nontrivial guarantees and matching lower bounds, establishing asymptotic optimality. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 26 2026)
