Through the Fairness Lens: Experimental Analysis and Evaluation of Entity Matching

Summary: Experimental audit of EM fairness across many matching methods using two social datasets built from public data. Finds disparities when groups overrepresented or names more similar; class imbalance makes PPV/TPR parity best at revealing bias. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
