| 20100161542 | DETECTING ENTITY RELEVANCE DUE TO A MULTIPLICITY OF DISTINCT VALUES FOR AN ATTRIBUTE TYPE - Techniques are disclosed for providing multiple value detection rules used to determine whether an entity is relevant due to multiple distinct values for an attribute type of the entity in an entity resolution system. Generally, the multiple value detection rules may be applied to attribute types of an entity. When a rule is violated because too many distinct values exist for a particular attribute type, an alert may be generated. Once the alert is generated, additional rules may be applied or skipped. In one embodiment, a rule may be named and given a description. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100161602 | GROUPING SIMILAR VALUES FOR A SPECIFIC ATTRIBUTE TYPE OF AN ENTITY TO DETERMINE RELEVANCE AND BEST VALUES - Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for grouping similar values of an attribute type and determining the best value of an attribute type for an entity in an entity resolution system. By applying attribute grouping rules to organize similar values into groups, an accurate number of distinct values for an entity may be ascertained by counting the number of resulting groups. A preferred group may be selected from the resulting groups and a “best value” may be selected from the preferred group by applying best value rules. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100161603 | GROUPING METHODS FOR BEST-VALUE DETERMINATION FROM VALUES FOR AN ATTRIBUTE TYPE OF SPECIFIC ENTITY - Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for grouping similar values of an attribute type and determining the best value of an attribute type for an entity in an entity resolution system. By applying attribute grouping rules to organize similar values into groups, an accurate number of “distinct” values for an entity may be ascertained by counting the number of resulting groups. A preferred group may be selected from the resulting groups and a “best value” may be selected from the preferred group by applying best value rules. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100161634 | BEST-VALUE DETERMINATION RULES FOR AN ENTITY RESOLUTION SYSTEM - Primary value determination rules may be used by entity resolution system to select a “best” or “primary” value of an attribute from a plurality of attribute values. For example, the “best” name, address, phone number, etc. to use in presenting a summary of information about that entity may be determined. Further, the primary value determination rules may each be configured to assign a confidence score to the “best” values selected for of a given entity. Doing so allows a selection of a “best” value for a given attribute made by one rule to be overridden by a selection of another “best” value made by another rule for that same attribute. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20110047167 | DETERMINING ENTITY RELEVANCE BY RELATIONSHIPS TO OTHER RELEVANT ENTITIES - An entity resolution system configured to process an inbound identity record and to generate a relevance score for the inbound identity record is disclosed. One process of resolving identity records and detecting relationships between entities may be performed using a pre-determined or configurable entity resolution rules. Further, the entity resolution system may assign base relevance scores, association relevance scores, and derived relevance scores to each resolved entity. The relevance score for the inbound identity record may be computed based on base relevance scores, association relevance scores, derived relevance scores, and/or relationship strengths of entities related to the inbound identity record. | 02-24-2011 |
