Details

This repository contains large-scale training data for improving linkage of data on organizations. NegMatches_mat.csv and NegMatches_mat_hold.csv refer to millions of negative name matches examples derived from the LinkedIn network (see paper for details). PosMatches_mat.csv and PosMatches_mat_hold.csv refer to millions of positive name matches examples derived from the LinkedIn network (see paper for details).

Additionally, files with saved *_bipartite refer to the bipartite network representation of the LinkedIn network that we use for improving linkage. files with saved *_bipartite refer to the Markov network representation of the LinkedIn network that we use for improving linkage.

Finally, data from all examples used in the paper are available in Example* folders. In each folder, the x and y data have linkage variables named by_x and by_y respectively, as does the merged z dataset.
