OPTIMIZING DATABASE ACCESS FOR RECORD LINKAGE BY TILING THE SPACE OF RECORD PAIRS

摘要

A system and method for optimizing database access for record linkage by tiling the space of record pairs are provided, the system including a processor, a segmentation and pairing unit in signal communication with the processor for segmenting database data into data segments and pairing the da ta segments into data quadrants, and a duplicate detection unit in signal communication with the processor for detecting duplicates for each quadrant; and the method including receiving database data, segmenting the database da ta into data segments, pairing the data segments into data quadrants, and detecting duplicates for each quadrant
