Demystifying probabilistic linkage
International Journal of Population Data Science, 2018 Many of the distinctions made between probabilistic and deterministic linkage are misleading. While these two approaches to record linkage operate in different ways and can produce different outputs, the distinctions between them are more a result of how

SMERED: A Bayesian Approach to Graphical Record Linkage and De-duplication [PDF]
, 2016 We propose a novel unsupervised approach for linking records across arbitrarily many files, while simultaneously detecting duplicate records within files. Our key innovation is to represent the pattern of links between records as a {\em bipartite} graph,
