Abstract
A system and method for disambiguating entities for managing customer relationships are described. An entity disambiguation computer receives information associated with candidate entities in an entity database. The received information comprises multiple versions of attributes related to one or more entities. Attributes are disambiguated and extracted from the information. A set of timeslice objects representing the multiple versions of each attribute is created. A subset of timeslice objects is selected for comparison based on an overlap between durations in respective timeslice objects. The system and method use a similarity model comprising weight and biases assigned to sets of previously used overlapping durations to predict if the subset of timeslice objects corresponds to the same entity. The subset of timeslice objects is merged if predicted to correspond to the same entity. This merging of timeslice objects disambiguates the information present in the entity database.
