Query: Record Linkage to Match Customer Names: A Probabilistic Approach   Consider the following problem: given a database of records indexed by names
(e.g., name of companies, restaurants, businesses, or universities) and a new
name, determine whether the new name is in the database, and if so, which
record it refers to. This problem is an instance of record linkage problem and
is a challenging problem because people do not consistently use the official
name, but use abbreviations, synonyms, different order of terms, different
spelling of terms, short form of terms, and the name can contain typos or
spacing issues. We provide a probabilistic model using relational logistic
regression to find the probability of each record in the database being the
desired record for a given query and find the best record(s) with respect to
the probabilities. Building on term-matching and translational approaches for
search, our model addresses many of the aforementioned challenges and provides
good results when existing baselines fail. Using the probabilities outputted by
the model, we can automate the search process for a portion of queries whose
desired documents get a probability higher than a trust threshold. We evaluate
our model on a large real-world dataset from a telecommunications company and
compare it to several state-of-the-art baselines. The obtained results show
that our model is a promising probabilistic model for record linkage for names.
We also test if the knowledge learned by our model on one domain can be
effectively transferred to a new domain. For this purpose, we test our model on
an unseen test set from the business names of the secondString dataset.
Promising results show that our model can be effectively applied to unseen
datasets. Finally, we study the sensitivity of our model to the statistics of
datasets.
