Beyond Scale and Generation: Understanding Language Model-based Entity Matching
arXiv:2607. 24688v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Entity matching identifies records that refer to the same real-world entity.
OpenSanctions Pairs is the first large‑scale public benchmark for entity matching on sanctions and OSINT data, comprising 755,540 expert‑labeled pairs drawn from over 1 million entities across 293 source datasets and 45 jurisdictions. The dataset spans multiple languages and writing systems, inconsistent structures, and time‑varying provenance, making it far more heterogeneous than prior benchmarks. Baseline experiments show a rule‑based matcher achieving 91.3 % F1, GPT‑4o reaching 99.0 % F1, and a locally deployable open‑source model scoring 98.2 % F1, with complementary failure modes that highlight the need to focus on downstream pipeline components.

The paper introduces CE‑RAG4EM, a cost‑efficient framework that applies retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG) to entity matching (EM) by using blocking‑based batch retrieval and generation. It demonstrates that, in a zero‑shot setting, CE‑RAG4EM achieves comparable or better matching quality than naive RAG while significantly reducing end‑to‑end overhead. Experiments on nine real‑world EM benchmarks show that the approach closes the knowledge grounding gap for LLM‑based EM, especially on datasets with ambiguous or sparse attributes, and provides clear guidance on balancing accuracy and computational cost through blocking size and retrieval granularity.
Entity Alignment (EA) identifies equivalent entities across knowledge graphs and is critical for knowledge base integration and ontology merging. Evaluating EA systems at scale requires expensive expe...

The paper introduces LongJudgeBench, a benchmark designed to evaluate large language models (LLMs) acting as judges for long-form text generation. It highlights that long-form evaluation requires complex, document-level assessments beyond simple length, such as organization, coverage, depth, consistency, and scenario-specific quality. Experiments show a significant reliability gap among current LLM judges, indicating instability across scenarios and limited effectiveness of rubrics or references.

The paper audits the reproducibility of knowledge‑graph extraction from threat reports by re‑implementing matching rules for only five of twelve systems and re‑scoring ten system outputs under eight protocols. The audit shows that different matching protocols can reverse most pairwise system rankings and that a fixed prediction set can vary from 0.16 to 0.70 F1. The authors also build CTIForge to isolate validation effects, finding that validation changes precision across backbones and increases entity‑type disputes, and they release the full pipeline, protocol suite, and audit records.
