PhD course “Modern approaches to Entity Resolution"

Instructor: Donatella Firmani (Roma Tre University)

When: June 15th 2020 - June 24th 2020
Where: Lectures will be held online as a Microsoft Teams meeting

Entity Resolution (ER) is a fundamental Data Integration task. ER seeks to identify and match different manifestations of the same real-world object over different data sources, i.e., duplicates. The sheer number of ways in which real-world entities can be represented and misrepresented make ER a challenging task for automated strategies, but relatively easy for expert humans. The course aims at illustrating recent frameworks for leveraging and representing human knowledge in the context of ER -- ranging from crowdsourcing approaches to machine learning methods -- and related notions (such as, explainable AI methods and knowledge graphs).

The course is open to PhD students and researchers from degree-granting institutions. Registration via Google Form is required https://forms.gle/oSyoKHtPn4UJrsiF7
