Entity Resolution (ER), a core task of Data Integration, detects different entity profiles that
correspond to the same real-world object. Due to its inherently quadratic complexity, a series …

Record linkage is the challenging task of deciding which records, coming from disparate
data sources, refer to the same entity. Established back in 1946 by Halbert L. Dunn, the area …

Entity Resolution (ER) lies at the core of data integration and cleaning and, thus, a bulk of
the research examines ways for improving its effectiveness and time efficiency. The initial …

A huge amount of data, in terms of streams, are collected nowadays via a variety of sources,
such as sensors, mobile devices, or even raw log files. The unprecedented rate at which …

Efficiency techniques are an integral part of Entity Resolution, since its infancy. In this
survey, we organized the bulk of works in the field into Blocking, Filtering and hybrid …

Organizations leverage massive volumes of information and new types of data to generate
unprecedented insights and improve their outcomes. Correctly identifying duplicate records …

Privacy-preserving record linkage (PPRL) is the process of linking records from various data
sources, ensuring that matching records for the same entity are shared among parties while …

Progressive entity resolution techniques aim to allow linking vast amounts of records,
coming from disparate data sources, in a way that provides early access to linkage results of …

Analyzing data and making the right decisions have become crucial objectives in various
domains. Record linkage is one of the most important processes for guaranteeing good data …

Nowadays, a vast amount of information is collected in real-time on a daily basis via users'
