Entity Resolution with Iterative Blocking

Summary: Iterative blocking framework for Entity Resolution where ER results from one block inform others, iterating to convergence. Cross-block propagation boosts accuracy and efficiency by reusing prior processing; scalable system on large datasets. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
