  • Patent number: 11941056
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for a weighting graph comprising nodes representing entities and edges representing relationships between entities in accordance with one or more domains. The method comprises: pre-processing the graph comprising assigning weights to the nodes and/or the edges of the graph in accordance with a specific domain of the domains, wherein the weight indicates a domain specific data quality problem of attribute values representing an edge of the edges and/or an entity involved in that edge. The weighted graph may be provided for enabling a processing of the graph in accordance with the specific domain.

  • Patent number: 11651055
    Abstract: Methods, computer program products and/or systems are provided that perform the following operations: obtaining a first graph comprising first nodes representing first entities and first edges representing relationships between first entities, the first nodes being associated with first entity attributes descriptive of the first entities represented by the first nodes, the first edges being associated with first edge attributes descriptive of the relationships represented by the first edges; determining a first subgraph for a certain node of the first nodes of the first graph, the first subgraph including the certain node and at least one neighboring node of the certain node; and determining a data quality issue regarding the certain node based, at least in part, on applying one or more applicable rules of a set of data quality rules to first entity attribute values and first edge attribute values of the first subgraph.

  • Patent number: 11500876
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention determines duplicates in a graph. The graph comprises nodes representing entities and edges representing relationships between the entities. The method comprises: identifying at least two nodes in the graph. A neighborhood subgraph may be determined for each of the two nodes. The neighborhood subgraph includes the respective node. The method further comprises determining whether the two nodes are duplicates with respect to each other, based on a result of a comparison between the two subgraphs.

  • Publication number: 20220092064
    Abstract: Selecting entity matching systems sample record pairs by selecting at least one first record pair from entity matching system data records, scoring attribute compare methods of the at least one first record pair according to the entity matching system, adding the at least one first record pair to a no-match set according to the attribute matching score, selecting at least one second record pair from an entity matching system data record bucket, scoring attribute compare methods of the at least one second record pair according to the entity matching system, adding the at least one second record pair to record pair set, according to the second record pair attribute compare method score, and providing the record pair set to a user.

  • Publication number: 20210374525
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method comprising providing a set of one or more records, each record of the set of records having a set of one or more attributes. Values of the set of attributes of the set of records may be input to a trained data representation learning model for receiving, as an output of the trained data representation model, a set of feature vectors representing the set of records respectively. The set of feature vectors may be stored.
