Why Is Fuzzy Matching Software a Key for Deduplication?

Identifying golden and unique records across or within datasets is crucial to prevent identity theft, meet compliance regulations, and improve customer acquisition. Banks, government organizations, healthcare providers, and marketing companies all require matching algorithms to identify and deduplicate redundant entries to enrich their master database.

Fuzzy matching is a known set of algorithms for measuring the distance between two similar entities. But certain limitations hinder its effectiveness to quickly find matches for larger, disparate datasets. 

Fuzzy Logic: From Appliances to Intelligent Automation

Fuzzy logic has quietly arrived in our day-to-day lives. Take, for example, rice cookers.

Unlike regular rice cookers, which are either on or off, a fuzzy logic enabled rice cooker can consider the type of rice, room temperature, and other factors to determine the optimal temperature and time for cooking.
