Systems and methods for entity resolution using attributes from structured and unstructured data

A system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory device operatively coupled to the one or more processors and storing computer-executable instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform functions that include:
• obtaining unstructured text data including a plurality of references corresponding to entities, wherein the unstructured text data is not pre-arranged with a predefined data model or schema;
• determining, from the unstructured text data, attributes associated with the entities;
• obtaining structured data including predefined attributes associated with the entities;
• comparing attributes associated with a first coreference unit with attributes associated with a second coreference unit, wherein the first coreference unit is a sub-entity representation having the attributes determined from the unstructured text data and the second coreference unit is a sub-entity representation having the predefined attributes;
• and
• determining, based on the comparison, whether the first coreference unit and the second coreference unit both correspond to the same entity.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause a computer to perform functions that include:

• obtaining unstructured text data including a plurality of references corresponding to entities, wherein the unstructured text data is not pre-arranged with a predefined data model or schema;
• determining, from the unstructured text data, attributes associated with the entities;
• obtaining structured data including predefined attributes associated with the entities;
• comparing attributes associated with a first coreference unit with attributes associated with a second coreference unit, wherein the first coreference unit is a sub-entity representation having the attributes determined from the unstructured text data and the second coreference unit is a sub-entity representation having the predefined attributes;
• and
• determining, based on the comparison, whether the first coreference unit and the second coreference unit both correspond to the same entity.
