Electre Tri-Machine Learning Approach to the Record Linkage Problem (1505.06614v1)

Abstract: In this short paper, the Electre Tri-Machine Learning Method, generally used to solve ordinal classification problems, is proposed for solving the Record Linkage problem. Preliminary experimental results show that, using the Electre Tri method, high accuracy can be achieved and more than 99% of the matches and nonmatches were correctly identified by the procedure.
