Abstract
In one embodiment, an online social network accesses a place-entity cluster comprising a number of place-entity nodes corresponding to a particular place-entity having a geographic location. One of the place-entity nodes is identified as an initial canonical place-entity cluster connected to the other place-entity nodes by redirection edges. A cluster score is calculated for each place-entity node in the cluster, and nodes having a cluster score above a threshold is identified. One of the identified place-entity nodes is selected as a replacement canonical place-entity node. If the replacement node is different from the initial canonical node, then the place-entity cluster is updated by adding or removing at least one place-entity node from the cluster based on their respective cluster scores.
