Mining Document Collections to Facilitate Accurate Approximate Entity Matching

Summary: Mine document collections to expand a reference entity table with variations of each entity. Approximate matching over substrings is reduced to exact match against the expanded table; introduces a new architecture and techniques to tackle efficiency, with experiments showing accuracy and scalability.
