# Understanding Domain-Aware Distribution Alignment for Budget Entity Matching

## At a glance

This paper investigates BEACON, a state-of-the-art low-resource, domain-aware entity matching method, and systematically analyzes how algorithmic choices and data availability conditions affect its performance. Through targeted experiments, it reveals the role of distribution alignment and the behavior of the BEACON framework under budget constraints, providing theoretical guidance for practical deployment.

## Key points

- BEACON is a domain-aware entity matching method for low-resource settings.
- Systematically evaluates performance variations under different algorithmic configurations and data constraints.
- Finds that distribution alignment significantly impacts the robustness of budget EM.

Entity Matching (EM) is a core operation in the data integration pipeline, where records from different sources are compared to determine whether they refer to the same real-world entity. Recent work has incorporated domain information and low-resource learning techniques to better adapt EM systems to realistic settings. While these approaches have demonstrated strong performance, it remains unclear how they behave under varying data constraints and levels of supervision in practice. In this paper, we investigate a state-of-the-art method for low-resource, domain-aware EM--BEACON--and study how its performance is affected by different algorithmic choices and data availability conditions. We conduct a series of targeted experiments to evaluate these variations, providing deeper insight into the role of distribution alignment and the behavior of the BEACON framework.
