Ground Truth Inference for Weakly Supervised Entity Matching

Summary: Weak supervision for entity matching via labeling functions; simple labeling model outperforms prior methods. EM transitivity; exact solutions when possible, ML approximations otherwise; DeepMatcher trained on weak labels rivals fully supervised models. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
