Record linkage based on a three-way decision with the use of granular descriptors

作者：

Highlights：

• Three-way decision is proposed to solve record linkage problem.

• Granule describing distribution uncertain data points is used in three-way decision.

• Coverage of uncertainty is defined by entropy and memberships.

• The specificity of granule construction is controlled by a new parameter.
