Abstract:The presence of duplicate records is a major data quality concern in huge datasets. To detect duplicates, entity matching is used as an essential step of the data cleaning process to map records that refer to the same real-world entity. Most of proposed algorithms require labeled data in order to train a classifier. However, we cannot always obtain labeled data. In our paper we propose an unsupervised approach for entity matching problem using an improved version of genetic algorithm. We explain the main impro… Show more
