Record linkage, the problem of determining when two records refer to the same entity, has applications for both data cleaning (deduplication) and for integrating data from multipl...
Matching records that refer to the same entity across databases is becoming an increasingly important part of many data mining projects, as often data from multiple sources needs ...
We study the parallelization of the (record) linkage problem – i.e., to identify matching records between two collections of records, A and B. One of main idiosyncrasies of the ...
Cleaning data of errors in structure and content is important for data warehousing and integration. Current solutions for data cleaning involve many iterations of data “auditing...
The problem of identifying approximately duplicate records in databases is an essential step for data cleaning and data integration processes. Most existing approaches have relied...
