Entity Resolution is Broken & Here’s How Graph Fixes it
Blog post from TigerGraph
Entity resolution faces challenges as traditional methods rely on attribute similarity, which often leads to either overly aggressive merging or excessive duplication, thereby degrading downstream analytics. This approach treats identity as an isolated attribute issue, rendering it fragile due to changes in names, addresses, and emails, as well as due to data entry errors and adversarial manipulation. A graph-based approach shifts the focus to structural similarity by considering the relationships and connections between entities, thus enhancing the reliability of identity validation. By evaluating shared networks and relational contexts, graph-based entity resolution strengthens identity accuracy, providing a stable foundation for analytics, risk, and compliance programs. This method manages ambiguity by integrating relationship-aware merging and multi-hop validation, thereby improving confidence and ensuring that each node in the graph accurately represents a real-world entity, ultimately enhancing the trustworthiness of all subsequent analytical processes.
