FlexER: Flexible Entity Resolution for Multiple Intents

Summary: MIER extends ER to multiple intents, enabling downstream interpretations beyond a single view. FlexER builds a multiplex intent-based pair graph and uses a GNN for multi-label resolution; introduces a large-scale benchmark (plus two standard benchmarks) and beats universal ER SOTA.
