Assignment 1

Posted on

Students presentations on Friday, January 25, Pinni B0016, 14.00-16.00.

For the first assignment, we will work in 6 groups.

All students of all groups should read carefully the paper: A Blocking Framework for Entity Resolution in Highly Heterogeneous Information Spaces

Each group is associated with a sub-assignment.

The presenter (P) of each group will prepare an around 10 minutes presentation that answers the questions associated with the sub-assignment of the group.
After this short presentation, the reviewers of the corresponding group (R) will explain their own point of view regarding the sub-assignment, e.g., they can add more details and explanations to the presented material, explain if they understood some concepts of the original paper in a different way, or even provide their vision for alternative ideas or solutions.

Sub-assignment 1:
Group 1 will focus mainly on how we can define the blocking-based entity resolution, and how we can compute the performance of blocking (Section 3.1).

Sub-assignment 2:
Group 2 will focus mainly on discussing the metric space for clean-clean entity resolution blocking methods (Section 3.2).

Sub-assignment 3:
Group 3 will focus mainly on discussing the block purging, and block scheduling block-refinement methods (Section 5.2.1).

Sub-assignment 4:
Group 4 will focus mainly on discussing the block pruning, and comparison propagation block-refinement methods (Section 5.2.1).

Sub-assignment 5:
Group 5 will focus mainly on discussing the duplicate propagation, and comparison pruning block-refinement methods (Section 5.2.1).

Sub-assignment 6:
Group 6 will focus mainly on discussing the comparison scheduling block-refinement method (Section 5.2.1).
