Incorporating String Transformations in Record Matching

Summary: Extends record matching by allowing user-defined string transformations (e.g., Robert/Bob) to define string similarity. Proposes an index-aware fuzzy-lookup framework that combines transformations with a base similarity, achieving better match quality and faster retrieval. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
