Hierarchical Entity Resolution using an Oracle

Summary: HierER builds a tree-structured hierarchy of records, capturing duplicates and is-A/subtype-supertype relations via a triplet-similarity oracle. It minimizes queries under noise, scales to many records, and provides guarantees for hierarchical ER. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
