  • Patent number: 10438308
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosed technology include systems and methods for identifying one or more entities associated with activities. In an example implementation, a method includes determining one or more geographical regions proximate to the plurality of locations associated with the one or more activities; determining connections between one or more identities of a population and a plurality of related entities associated with the one or more identities; determining geographical information associated with related entities; weighting one or more metrics for each of the identities based on the geographical information associated with the related entities and the or more geographical regions proximate to the plurality of locations associated with the one or more activities; scoring the one or more weighted metrics; and providing, based on the scoring, an indication of a likelihood that the one or more identities of the population are associated with the one or more activities.

  • Patent number: 9836524
    Abstract: Certain implementations of the disclosed technology include systems and methods for internal co-convergence using clustering when there is hierarchy in the data structure. A method is included for clustering hierarchical database records into a first set of clusters having corresponding first cluster identifications (IDs), each hierarchical database record including one or more field values, the clustering based at least in part on determining similarity among corresponding field values of the hierarchical database records. The method includes receiving parent-child hierarchical relationship information for the hierarchical database records, re-clustering at least a portion of the hierarchical database records into a second set of clusters having corresponding second cluster IDs, the re-clustering based at least in part on the received parent-child hierarchical relationship information, and outputting hierarchical database record information, based at least in part on the re-clustering.

  • Patent number: 9626412
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system for, and method of, recycling field value weights as computed for database linking purposes. Such field value weights may be used for a search operation. In some embodiments, such weights may be used for a search operation prior to their values stabilizing during an iterative linking operation.

  • Patent number: 9454606
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system for, and method of, supplementing an internet search. The disclosed techniques may be used to receive an initial internet search criteria entered by a user at an interface (such as a web site) to the internet search engine, identify an entity representation in a database that corresponds to the internet search criteria, and produce an enhanced internet search criteria that may incorporate both the initial internet search criteria and field values from the identified entity representation. The enhanced internet search criteria may be passed to the internet search engine in a manner that is transparent to a user.
