用约束引导大模型,让企业数据映射更准更省力。

Constraint-Guided Enterprise Data Mapping with Large Language Models

  • 用可执行的结构约束限制候选匹配,避免无效映射
  • 约束使匹配准确率从0.08提升至0.66,且成本降低28倍
  • 适合需要高可靠性的企业数据集成场景

企业实体对齐需应对半结构化记录、隐式属性及单位/粒度不一致问题。纯大模型匹配虽提升语义召回率,但常违反结构与物理约束,生成看似合理实则无效的对应关系。本文提出约束引导映射(CGM),分三阶段:(i) 基于模式的可执行约束,包含约束类型tau_c与可执行关系/归一化逻辑delta_c;(ii) 约束限制下的候选生成,通过级联松弛确保噪声下可行解集非空;(iii) 在可行集中进行神经排序,限制大模型消歧范围。约束作为假设空间操作符,而非事后验证,支持可控退化与可审计的人工干预。在结构干扰基准上,硬约束使候选空间缩小约480倍,且未丢失真实匹配;层间消融显示,约束门控是性能提升的关键(F1由0.08升至0.66)。该方法与模型无关,无额外推理开销:小模型加约束可媲美前沿大模型,成本低28倍。方法在七个企业数据源上迁移成功(宏F1 0.70),每组自动发现并可专家优化约束,较电子表格流程降低约7倍人工投入。公开的Valentine结果提供外部排序验证,明确约束应仅在结构不变量决定匹配时才设为硬约束。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Enterprise entity alignment must handle semi-structured records, implicit attributes, and unit or granularity mismatches. Manual matching is still common in practice, but does not scale as schemas and providers evolve. LLM-only matching improves semantic recall, yet can violate structural and physical invariants, producing fluent yet operationally invalid correspondences. We propose constraint-guided mapping (CGM), a neuro-symbolic method with three stages: (i) schema-grounded admissibility constraints with metadata mc = <tau_c, delta_c>, where tau_c denotes the constraint type and delta_c provides executable relation and normalization logic; (ii) constraint-restricted candidate generation with cascade relaxation to guarantee a nonempty feasible set under noise; and (iii) neural ranking with bounded LLM disambiguation restricted to that feasible set. Methodologically, constraints operate as hypothesis-space operators rather than post-hoc validators, enabling controlled degradation under relaxation and auditable, human-guidable decisions. On a controlled structural-decoy benchmark, hard admissibility shrinks the candidate space by ~480x without dropping the GT, and a layer-by-layer ablation shows this gate, not the LLM, is the decisive lift (F1 0.08 to 0.66). The benefit is model-independent and adds no extra inference cost: a small model with constraints matches a frontier LLM used without them at ~28x lower cost. The method, not a single tuned configuration, transfers across seven enterprise makes (macro F1 0.70), each under its own automatically discovered, expert-refinable constraints, and lowers expert effort by ~7x versus spreadsheet workflows. Public Valentine results add an external ranking sanity check and mark the boundary: constraints should be hard only where structural invariants are match-determining.
