Making It Tractable to Catch Duplicates and Conflicts in Graphs
Summary: Introduces Graph Cleaning Rules (GCRs) for scalable entity and conflict resolution in large graphs, using dual-pattern and star-shaped templates with ML predicates to cope with schemaless structures. PTIME for satisfiability, implication, and validation of GCRs; presents parallel rule mining and deep ER/CR algorithms with speedups and higher accuracy than prior graph dependencies.
