Before such questions can be answered\, databases mus t be cleaned and integrated in a systematic and accurate way\, commonly kn own as record linkage\, de-duplication\, or entity resolution. In this art icle\, we review motivational applications and seminal papers that have le d to the growth of this area. Specifically\, we review the foundational wo rk that began in the 1940’s and 50’s that have led to modern probabilistic record linkage. We review clustering approaches to entity resolution\, se mi- and fully supervised methods\, and canonicalization\, which are being used throughout industry and academia in applications such as human rights \, official statistics\, medicine\, citation networks\, among others. Fina lly\, we discuss current research topics of practical importance. This is joint work with Olivier Binette.\n\nweb : http://crm.umontreal.ca/colloque -sciences-mathematiques-quebec/index.html#csmq\n DTSTART:20221125T193000Z DTEND:20221125T213000Z SUMMARY:Rebecca Steorts\, Duke University URL:/mathstat/channels/event/rebecca-steorts-duke-univ ersity-343763 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
