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 investigates whether large language models (LLMs) can leverage frozen relational‑transformer embeddings by injecting them as soft tokens. Using a learned MLP projection and LoRA adaptation, the authors fine‑tune Qwen3.5‑4B on chain‑of‑thought reasoning traces and group‑based reinforcement learning, then evaluate on ten binary classification tasks across six RelBench databases. The hybrid approach consistently underperforms the standalone relational transformer, showing sensitivity to serialization format, token budget, and RL stability, leading the authors to conclude that stronger alignment objectives and schema‑aware design are needed for reliable relational prediction.
