Building a repository for record linkage
International Journal of Population Data Science, 2018 ICPSR is building LinkageLibrary, a repository and community space for researchers involved in linking and combining datasets, as a collaboration between social, statistical, and computer scientists. Unlike surveys or experiments where causal and outcome variables are measured in tandem, it is often necessary when working with organic, non-design data ...

Composing Differential Privacy and Secure Computation: A Case Study on Scaling Private Record Linkage [PDF]
Conference on Computer and Communications Security, 2017 Private record linkage (PRL) is the problem of identifying pairs of records that are similar as per an input matching rule from databases held by two parties that do not trust one another. We identify three key desiderata that a PRL solution must ensure:

Validating Distance-Based Record Linkage with Probabilistic Record Linkage [PDF]
, 2002 This work compares two alternative methods for record linkage: distance based and probabilistic record linkage. It compares the performance of both approaches when data is categorical. To that end, a distance over ordinal and nominal scales is defined.
