We present a declarative framework for collective deduplication of entity references in the presence of constraints. Constraints occur naturally in many data cleaning domains and c...
When using Bayesian networks, practitioners often express constraints among variables by conditioning a common child node to induce the desired distribution. For example, an ‘orâ...
