Abstract

Duplicate entities detection in biological data became a demanded research task [3,5,7,8,9]. In this paper, we propose a novel context-sensitive Markov Random Field-based Edit Distance (MRFED). We apply the Markov Random Field (MRF) theory to Needleman-Wunsch (NW) distance and combine MRFED with TFIDF, a token-based distance algorithm (SoftMRFED). We evaluate SoftMRFED and other distance algorithms (Levenstein, SoftTFIDF, and MongeElkan) at biological entity matching and synonym matching. The experiment results show SoftMRFED significantly outperforms other distance algorithms and its performance is superior to token-based distance algorithms in two matching tasks.
