Record Linkage Name: James Paul DOB: 7/4/1804 POB: England DOD: 8/15/1845 Parents: Howard Paul Mary Jones Name: J. Paul DOB: 7/11/1804 POB: England DOD: 8/15/1845 Parents: H. Paul Mary Jones Sex: M Children: Lucy Paul
6
Record Linkage Problems with Current Standards Uses Probabilistic Record Linkage Formula Weights and thresholds are 10 years old Depends on attributes of one record Does not completely solve missing fields problem

8
Thesis Statement Graph-matching can enhance current record linkage techniques to find a smaller set of possible matches and have high precision.
9
GRAMP - Overview Uses Multiple records Transverse two graphs in parallel Continue until no more links Compare related nodes to each other to get measurement

Record Linkage Name: Howard Paul DOB: 2/4/1789 POB: England DOD: 1/13/1815 Parents: Louis Paul ?? Name: H. Paul DOB: 2/4/1789 POB: England DOD: 8/15/1845 Parents: Louis Paul Michelle P. Sex: M Children: James PaulChildren: J Paul
12
GRAMP Determine probable matches Weakness is decreased Keep those with potential Transverse the graph Determine relationships Compute similarity matches against both sets Recursive calls Combine Measurements For each node in graph
13
GRAMP Testing Records with Errors Records without Errors Random set of Records Expected Results Do similar or better, smaller blocks Slow
14
Contributions Provides a useful tool for genealogical, census, and statistical programs An algorithm which matches objects utilizing surrounding nodes Offers a different approach to the object identity problem
