Entity Resolution with Hierarchical Graph Attention Networks

Summary: Proposes HierGAT, a hierarchical graph-attention ER model that jointly reasons about interdependent decisions, not pairwise. Uses graph attention to identify discriminative attributes/words, achieving up to 32.5% F1 over DeepMatcher and 8.7% over Ditto. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
