Unicorn: A Unified Multi-tasking Model for Supporting Matching Tasks in Data Integration

Summary: Unicorn: a unified multi-task data-matching model for diverse integration tasks. A single Encoder+Matcher with mixture-of-experts enables cross-task knowledge sharing and zero-shot support across 20 datasets and 7 tasks, outperforming ad-hoc baselines.
