  • Entity resolution techniques and systems
    Patent number: 9734207
    Abstract: Entity resolution techniques and systems are described. An entity resolution method may include estimating a joint probability of occurrence of a plurality of values of a respective plurality of descriptors of an entity. The plurality of descriptor values may be included in a first data set. The method may further include determining that the joint probability of occurrence of the plurality of descriptor values is less than a threshold probability, identifying a second data set including the same plurality of values of the same respective plurality of descriptors, and determining, based at least in part on the joint probability of occurrence of the plurality of descriptor values being less than the threshold probability and on the first and second data sets including the same plurality of descriptor values, that the first and second data sets describe the same entity.
