Graph Deep Active Learning Framework for Data Deduplication by Huan Cao, Shengdong Du, Jie Hu, Yan Yang, Shi-Jinn Horng, Tianrui Li

“…To fill this research gap, we propose a novel graph deep active learning framework for data deduplication, which is based on similarity algorithms combined with the bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT) model to extract the deep similarity features of multi-source data records, and first introduce the graph active learning strategy to build a clean graph to filter the data that needs to be labeled, which is used to delete the duplicate data that retain the most information. …”
