Abstract

In this paper we study the application of entity resolution (ER) techniques on a real-world multi-source genealogical dataset. Our goal is to identify all persons involved in various notary acts and link them to their birth, marriage and death certificates. In order to evaluate the performance of a baseline approach based on existing techniques, an interactive interface is developed for getting feedback from human experts in the field of genealogy. We perform an empirical evaluation in terms of precision, recall and F-score. We show that the baseline approach is not sufficient for our purposes and discuss future improvements.
