Get the DINA'2020 Call for Papers.             My research interests: Data matching (record linkage, entity resolution). I am interest in computational aspects (scalability and real-time matching), as well as privacy issues in data matching. I have written a book titled Data Matching - Concepts and Techniques for Record Linkage, Entity Resolution, and Duplicate Detection, which has been published by Springer in their Data-Centric Systems and Applications in August 2012. For details (including a PDF file of preface, table of contents, and references) see the data matching book page. Buy the book from Amazon.com (a Kindle version is now available). Data Mining (for an excellent resource on data mining see: www.KDnuggets.com - Analytics, Big Data, and Data Mining Resources). List of my current and past PhD students, and a set of resources with useful information for PhD students. Links: List of my publications and selected presentations.
