作者:

Highlights:

• Uncertain Entity Resolution allows creating multiple narratives from complementary sources of data.

• The approach was demonstrated during a unique project performed on the Yad Vashem Names database.

• Algorithms implementing the approach were empirically evaluated on a tagged subset on various configurations and versus equivalent algorithms.

• The accurate and insightful results are being integrated into Yad Vashem systems and user applications.
