Abstract. In many data mining projects the data to be analysed contains personal information, like names and addresses. Cleaning and preprocessing of such data likely involves dedu...
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 ...
Entity linkage is central to almost every data integration and data cleaning scenario. Traditional techniques use some computed similarity among data structure to perform merges a...

Record linkage analysis, which matches records referring to the same real world entities from different data sets, is an important task in data integration. Uncertainty often exi...
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...
