摘要

Blocking is a crucial subtask within the field of entity matching. Although deep learning approaches have gained popularity for this task, they still face two primary challenges: (1) inadequate utilization of contextual semantics, and (2) sensitivity to noise. To address these limitations, we introduce a novel framework, named Pre-trained language model and Masked Autoencoder (PMAE). We leverage a pre-trained language model to extract rich semantic information. Furthermore, we incorporate noise into the semantic representations of entities through a dual-branch masking mechanism, to enhance the model’s robustness to noisy data. Through extensive evaluations against several state-of-the-art methods on benchmark datasets, PMAE demonstrates significant improvements, achieving an average enhancement of 4.45% in the recall, outperforming existing techniques.
