Entity Matching in the Wild: A Consistent and Versatile Framework to Unify Data in Industrial Applications

Summary: Fusion: an industrial entity-matching framework using ordinal-regression scoring to unify records at multiple confidence levels. A clustering approach tolerates missing data via transitive linking and a persistent-ID to sustain stable IDs for evolving data. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
