US 10,372,820 B1 · Method and system for managing data quality for spanish names in a database

Abstract

A method and system to identify similar names and addresses from given data set comprising plurality of names and addresses. The invention more specifically addresses the challenge faced in Spanish data quality assurance. The name and data is parsed through parsing engine to parse the plurality of Spanish names and addresses. The parsed Spanish names and addresses are sent to a Probable identification engine to identify the probable matches. The combination of name and address matching process can be used for assuring data quality for Spanish names and addresses. The Spanish name matching process consists of identification of probable matches and finding similarity percentages between those probable. Similarly, the Spanish address matching process consists of identification of probable matches (criteria like same city) and finding similarity percentages between those probable. The system includes a parsing engine, a probable identification engine and a match percentage calculation engine.

Dependent claims

A method for identification and matching of a plurality of similar Spanish names in a given set of data, the method implemented by a processor and comprising:

providing a plurality of Spanish names to a name parsing engine;
generating a plurality of parsed Spanish names by the name parsing engine;
providing the plurality of parsed Spanish names to a probable name identification engine;
generating a plurality of Spanish name probable matches by the probable name identification engine;
providing the plurality of Spanish name probable matches to a name match percentage calculation engine;
calculating a matching percentage between the plurality of Spanish name probable matches by the name match percentage calculation engine;
and
generating one or more probable matches by the name match percentage calculation engine,
wherein the name match percentage calculation engine calculates percentage match between the parsed Spanish names by the probable name identification engine, wherein the percentage matches are measured by a nameKdiff algorithm.
