Especially, when parts of names of an entity were used as its identifi er, we call a mixed entity resolution problem whose goal is to clear out the erroneous entities. For example, if only last name is used as an identifi er, we cannot distinguish “Vannessa Bush” from “George Bush.” Mixed entity resolution problem is common among Web pages data. In this paper, to resolve aforementioned mixed entities on the Web, we propose a prototypical system which includes a web service based interface, unsupervised clustering scheme, and cluster ranking algorithms. In particular, since the correct number of clusters is often unknown, we study a state-of-the-art unsupervised clustering solution based on propagation of pairwise similarities of entities. Experimental results show that our approach outperforms main competing solution.}, }
