LACE: A Logical Approach to Collective Entity Resolution
Summary: LACE: a logical framework for collective entity resolution with hard/soft merge rules and denial constraints, whose rules are evaluated on the progressively merged instance to enable justified, cascading merges. Defines maximal-solution semantics (certain/possible merges), pins exact decision complexities, and encodes reasoning in ASP. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
