Dirty ER#
In this notebook we present the pyJedAI approach in the well-known Cora dataset. Dirty ER, is the process of dedeplication of one set.
How to install?#
pyJedAI is an open-source library that can be installed from PyPI.
For more: pypi.org/project/pyjedai/
%python --version
%pip install pyjedai -U
%pip show pyjedai
Imports
import os
import sys
import pandas as pd
import networkx
from networkx import draw, Graph
from pyjedai.utils import print_clusters, print_blocks, print_candidate_pairs
from pyjedai.evaluation import Evaluation
Reading the dataset#
pyJedAI in order to perfrom needs only the tranformation of the initial data into a pandas DataFrame. Hence, pyJedAI can function in every structured or semi-structured data. In this case Abt-Buy dataset is provided as .csv files.
pyjedai <Data> module#
Data module offers a numpber of options
Selecting the parameters (columns) of the dataframe, in D1 (and in D2)
Prints a detailed text analysis
Stores a hidden mapping of the ids, and creates it if not exists.
from pyjedai.datamodel import Data
d1 = pd.read_csv("./../data/der/cora/cora.csv", sep='|')
gt = pd.read_csv("./../data/der/cora/cora_gt.csv", sep='|', header=None)
attr = ['author', 'title']
Data is the connecting module of all steps of the workflow
data = Data(
dataset_1=d1,
id_column_name_1='Entity Id',
ground_truth=gt,
attributes_1=attr,
dataset_name_1="CORA"
)
Workflow with Block Cleaning Methods#
In this notebook we created the bellow architecture:
Block Building#
It clusters entities into overlapping blocks in a lazy manner that relies on unsupervised blocking keys: every token in an attribute value forms a key. Blocks are then extracted, possibly using a transformation, based on its equality or on its similarity with other keys.
The following methods are currently supported:
Standard/Token Blocking
Sorted Neighborhood
Extended Sorted Neighborhood
Q-Grams Blocking
Extended Q-Grams Blocking
Suffix Arrays Blocking
Extended Suffix Arrays Blocking
from pyjedai.block_building import (
StandardBlocking,
QGramsBlocking,
SuffixArraysBlocking,
ExtendedSuffixArraysBlocking,
ExtendedQGramsBlocking

Block Cleaning#
Optional step
Its goal is to clean a set of overlapping blocks from unnecessary comparisons, which can be either redundant (i.e., repeated comparisons that have already been executed in a previously examined block) or superfluous (i.e., comparisons that involve non-matching entities). Its methods operate on the coarse level of individual blocks or entities.

Comparison Cleaning - Meta Blocking#
Optional step
Similar to Block Cleaning, this step aims to clean a set of blocks from both redundant and superfluous comparisons. Unlike Block Cleaning, its methods operate on the finer granularity of individual comparisons.
The following methods are currently supported:
Comparison Propagation
Cardinality Edge Pruning (CEP)
Cardinality Node Pruning (CNP)
Weighed Edge Pruning (WEP)
Weighed Node Pruning (WNP)
Reciprocal Cardinality Node Pruning (ReCNP)
Reciprocal Weighed Node Pruning (ReWNP)
BLAST
Most of these methods are Meta-blocking techniques. All methods are optional, but competive, in the sense that only one of them can part of an ER workflow. For more details on the functionality of these methods, see here. They can be combined with one of the following weighting schemes:
Aggregate Reciprocal Comparisons Scheme (ARCS)
Common Blocks Scheme (CBS)
Enhanced Common Blocks Scheme (ECBS)
Jaccard Scheme (JS)
Enhanced Jaccard Scheme (EJS)

How to set a valid similarity threshold?#
Configure similariy threshold with a Grid-Search or with an Optuna search. Also pyJedAI provides some visualizations on the distributions of the scores.
For example with a classic histogram:
em.plot_distribution_of_all_weights()
Or with a range 0.1 from 0.0 to 1.0 grouping:
em.plot_distribution_of_scores()
Distribution-% of predicted scores: [0.175783269568814, 1.199462309998966, 1.5303484644814394, 3.732809430255403, 3.898252507496639, 6.545341743356427, 8.168751938786063, 8.334195016027298, 34.8361079516079, 17.79547099576052]
Entity Clustering#
It takes as input the similarity graph produced by Entity Matching and partitions it into a set of equivalence clusters, with every cluster corresponding to a distinct real-world object.
from pyjedai.clustering import ConnectedComponentsClustering
ec = ConnectedComponentsClustering()
clusters = ec.process(pairs_graph, data, similarity_threshold=0.3)
_ = ec.evaluate(clusters)
