Our results bring a clear and strong support for federated learning: under reasonable assumptions on the number and magnitude of entity resolution's mistakes, it can be extremely beneficial to carry out federated learning in the setting where each peer's data provides a significant uplift to the other.

In our experiments, we modify a simple token-based entity resolution algorithm so that it indeed aims at avoiding matching rows belonging to different classes, and perform experiments in the setting where entity resolution relies on noisy data, which is very relevant to real world domains.
