Evaluating Entity Resolution Results
Summary: Analyzes existing ER measures; shows they can rank results inconsistently across algorithms. Introduces generalized merge distance (GMD), an edit-distance style ER measure with configurable split/merge costs; unifies VI as a special case and makes F1 computable from GMD; provides a linear-time algorithm for broad cost classes.
