Deep Entity Matching with Pre-Trained Language Models
Summary: Ditto casts entity matching as sequence-pair classification and fine-tunes pre-trained Transformers, surpassing prior SOTA by up to 29 F1 points. Domain highlighting, summarization, and hard-example augmentation further improve accuracy while reducing label needs. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
