Falcon: Scaling Up Hands-Off Crowdsourced Entity Matching to Build Cloud Services

Summary: Falcon scales hands-off crowdsourced EM beyond Corleone with RDBMS-style planning on Hadoop. It defines EM operators, turns workflows into executable plans mixing machine and crowd tasks, using crowd time to mask machine time for million-tuple cloud-scale EM.
