Practical Guide to Entity Resolution -- part 4

This is part 4 of a mini-series on entity resolution. Candidate pair generation is a fairly straightforward part of ER, as it is essentially a self join on the blocking keys. The next step after candidate pair generation, is to score the candidate pair match likelihood. This is crucial to removing non-matches and creating the final resolved entities. This step is again fairly open ended and one can be very creative about the specific scoring functions and features to implement.
