  • Patent number: 12002061
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods for determining unique contacts from a collection or pool of merchant data are discussed herein. Some embodiments may provide for an apparatus including circuitry configured to determine programmatic match results indicating whether different instances of merchant data match (e.g., describe the same contact). The circuitry may further determine probabilities of precision or recall errors with the programmatic match results. Programmatic match results having a high probability of error may be annotated by a user to generate user match results. The user match results may be used to generate a more reliable contacts database including unique contacts, as well as to train and/or update the match scoring algorithm. As such, the accuracy of machine-implemented binary classification is improved.
