Abstract:

Record linkage can be used for name and address matching of lists to identify duplicates. Recent applications are linking administrative and other files for creating warehouses for data mining. We will discuss how recent advanced methods and software are used in cleaning files of duplicates and improving the analyses of the linked files.

  • The address information is for the authors that have a + after their name.
  • Authors who are presenting talks have a * after their name.
