Enriching Relations with Additional Attributes for ER

Summary: Defines relation enrichment: select a few KG-derived attributes to augment a relation's schema to maximize entity-resolution accuracy; problem is intractable. Uses tuple–KG linking and a reinforcement-learning policy jointly trained with ER to extract diverse, low-null attributes incrementally, yielding up to 33% ER gain.
