Exploiting Context Analysis for Combining Multiple Entity Resolution Systems

Summary: ER Ensemble, a supervised-learning framework, combines multiple base ER systems to boost disambiguation quality. This approach maps base clustering decisions and local context to a final clustering, via two novel methods, yielding gains across domains. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
