Auto-FuzzyJoin: Auto-Program Fuzzy Similarity Joins Without Labeled Examples

Summary: Auto-FuzzyJoin auto-programs fuzzy similarity joins without labeled data by exploiting a geometric interpretation of distance-functions to meet a user-specified precision tau while maximizing recall. On 50 Wikipedia-derived fuzzy-join tasks, it beats unsupervised baselines and rivals supervised methods with partial labels; code and benchmark data are released on GitHub.
