I’ve seen ChatGPT coming for months. After ChatGPT’s launch, we’re seeing its remarkable capabilities blooming left and right. I just heard a few days ago that 100 startups focused on leveraging ChatGPT were funded in the last 90 days! All well and good. Until it got personal last week. Out…

When it comes to entity resolution systems, early tinkering with algorithms can be a waste of time. While not true for traditional record matching methods, this is 100% true for entity-centric learning type algorithms like those in Senzing® entity resolution. [NOTE: It is essential to understand the distinction between entity-centric…

A common question from those new to entity resolution is: Are the entity IDs being created persistent? Meaning, once a record is assigned to an entity ID, will this ID be the same forever? Simple answer is: Absolutely not. Persistent entity IDs assigned to records can change. Why? …

Isn’t it ironic that a field focused on determining when two things are the same … has so many words to describe it? There are many terms used for describing “the process of determining when two real world entities are the same, despite differences in how they are described.” The Wikipedia definition of record linkage calls out “record matching, entity resolution and many other terms” as synonyms. That said, in recent years, the term entity resolution seems to be getting the most uptake.

Imagine conducting vehicle safety tests, like measuring stopping distance or handling in high-speed turns, in a small parking lot set up with some orange cones. Obviously, the results of these type of tests will be quite different than the actual safety you’ll experience in the real world. Similarly, when insufficient…

Imagine evaluating a car by having a seasoned professional demonstrate how they can drive the car around the block … leaving you completely in the dark about the amount of training and expertise needed, special fuel requirements, carbon emissions, etc. This is exactly what happens when an entity resolution vendor…

Imagine evaluating a car by just driving it around the block … when your real needs are a low maintenance, all-terrain vehicle with attractive operating costs. Similarly, imagine evaluating entity resolution technology by just batch loading a couple of data sets … when you need a system that operates in…

“Good, fast, cheap. Choose two.” There are plenty of references to this dynamic, a “law” if you will, applied to various domains e.g., project management, marketing. For so long, entity resolution has lived under this same law too — but no longer! Team Senzing is elated to report a breakthrough…

At Senzing we have created the first real-time AI for entity resolution. We make it quick and easy to accurately combine data about people and companies from different data sources. No other technology that exists today can do this in real time, at scale, with this level of accuracy without…
