RESOLVING SIMILAR ENTITIES FROM A TRANSACTION DATABASE

摘要

A technique for identifying related transaction records from a database storing transaction records for multiple entities includes grouping transaction records with a common attribute value into transaction record sets, receiving a selection of an exemplar record set and determining the probability the transaction record set stores transaction records associated with a first entity. Other operations include resolving the transaction record set as storing transaction records associated with the first entity. This improves the process of identifying related transaction records because related transaction records missed by string comparisons transaction record attributes are detected.

1. A method for identifying related transaction records from a database storing transaction records for multiple entities, the method comprising:
retrieving a plurality of transaction record sets, wherein each transaction record set includes one or more of the transaction records sharing a common attribute value; receiving a selection of or selecting an exemplar record set, wherein the exemplar record set comprises a plurality of the transaction records associated with a first entity; for each of the plurality of transaction record sets:
determining a probability that the transaction record set stores transaction records associated with the first entity, andupon determining the probability exceeds a threshold, resolving the transaction record set as storing transaction records associated with the first entity.
