The introduction states, In the field of tax compliance, identity matching helps find non filers by locating individuals found in external source systems that are absent from tax systems. In Texas, solving this problem was estimated to be worth at least 4. M over 1. 8 monthsNCR9. In the references section was, NCR9. NCR. State of Texas Selects NCR Data Warehouse Solution to Help it Collect 4. Million in Additional Taxes, News Release, May 1. So, it appears that the NCR Corporation was involved in this process for the state of Texas. In the abstract is an interesting overview of approximate string matching and fuzzy matching algorithms. A statement near the end reads, Our algorithm did somewhat better than other individual tests, but the best recall came from a fully integrated test. Using all of the phonetic algorithms, code shifts and diagrams raised recall to 9. That is where the adventure started. After researching various algorithms, I came to the realization that the Fuzzy Matching algorithmic wheels were already invented. It was now a matter of determining what algorithms to use and which were the best for this challenge. So, I plowed as opposed to surfed through the Internet for algorithms. What I discovered was that most of what I found were incomplete, buggy, or written in languages other than VB. Many were in C, C, Perl, and so on. So, I translated them into VB, debugged them, added the missing pieces, and optimized them. What an adventure Then, I obtained a corpus of 1. I dont remember where I got them. I imported them into Access and established unique IDs. From this, I created a test table and moved 1. ID. After that, I got the wife to morph the 1. Wives are really good at this. The next step was to create a table for the results from running the table of 1. The results table had fields for the morphed name, the original ID, the ID of the name to which the algorithms matched, the match value that the algorithms gave, and another Boolean field used to flag the name as to whether it is a good match or not. This field would be used by a reviewer and could be updated to true by a query to flag all those with a match value of say, greater than. Then, a query could be run to view all those with a false for a good match to determine whether they might possibly qualify as a good match. Statistics also could be compiled from comparing original IDs to match IDs. This would be used to calculate the precisionrecall percentage, and the like after the test run. There are two functions in the database that call the algorithms, Is. Similar and Name. Similarity. Unfortunately, I cannot release the source code on these because I consider them proprietary and of high value. But, the source for the suite of algorithms is pure gold. Two strings to be compared are passed to the Is. Similar function that runs the strings through the algorithm suite and returns the match value. The Name. Similarity function is specifically customized to deal with first, middle, and last names for matching. It calls the Is. Similar function many times when parsing names. In the end, the Name. Similarity function calculates the average of all the scores that the Is. Similar function returned while parsing the two names for comparison. So, Name. Similarity function returns the 9. Is. Similar function was not good and solid. In addition to all this, there is the demoworkbench. The Algorithm Suite form will allow you to type in your own namesstrings to compare and displays the match value from either the algorithm suite or an individual algorithm. You can compare two names by entering them into the first, middle, and last boxes or simply compare two other strings, such as addresses, by entering them into the two last name boxes. The Algorithms. There are only four algorithms called in the Is. Similar function Dice Coefficient. Levenshtein Edit Distance. Longest Common Subsequence. Double Metaphone. These algorithms are used to detect a list of possible matches between a known good reference list to a questionable list of the same type. The method used for the Dice Coefficient is the linear q gram or n gram model. Q or N would be the length of the gram. Q gram monograms, bigrams, trigrams, and so forth.
