Beschreibung

We propose and evaluate several approaches for privacy-preserving record linkage for multiple data sources. To reduce the number of comparisons for scalability we propose a new pivot-based metric space approach that dynamically adapts the selection of pivots for additional sources and growing data volume. Furthermore, we investigate so-called early and late clustering schemes that either cluster matching records per additional source or holistically for all sources. A comprehensive evaluation for different datasets confirms the high effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed methods.
