Abstract

Entity Resolution (ER) is the problem of semi-automatically determining when two entities refer to the same underlying entity, with applications ranging from healthcare to e-commerce. Traditional ER solutions required considerable manual expertise, including domain-specific feature engineering, as well as identification and curation of training data. Recently released large language models (LLMs) provide an opportunity to make ER more seamless and domain-independent. Because of LLMs’ pre-trained knowledge, the matching step in ER can be made easier by just prompting. However, it is also well known that LLMs can pose risks, that the quality of their outputs can depend on how prompts are engineered, and that the cost of using LLMs can be significant. Unfortunately, a systematic experimental study on the effects of different prompting methods and their respective cost for solving domain-specific entity …
