Entity Alignment is the task of finding entities in two knowledge bases that refer to the same real-world object. It plays a vital role in automatically integrating multiple knowledge bases.
Note: results that have incorporated machine translated entity names (introduced in the RDGCN paper) or pre-alignment name embeddings are considered to have used extra training labels (both are marked with "Extra Training Data" in the leaderboard) and are not adhere to a comparable setting with others that have followed the original setting of the benchmark.

The task of entity alignment is related to the task of entity resolution which focuses on matching structured entity descriptions in different contexts.

10 leaderboard tables shown for this task, 10 with rows (a “benchmark” on this site is a table with at least one row, as on /sota), ordered by row count. “Best model” is the first row in the archive's own order at snapshot; nothing is re-ranked here and metric direction is not recorded in the archive. PwC's Trend sparklines are not in the archive, so that column is omitted.

Syntology column: samples harvested from the paper's repositories and executed on synthesized fixtures; “ran” is not a correctness claim and does not order the table. A dash means no Syntology record for that paper, not a recorded non-run. Read from the graph 2026-09-24.

Syntology lines on 10 of the papers shown; no Syntology record for the others (a paper without an arXiv id cannot be joined to the graph, and absence from the graph layer is not a recorded non-run). “Ran” means the sample executed on a synthesized fixture, not that the paper's result was reproduced.
