Abstract

The present disclosure is directed toward systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that more accurately determine matches between data identifiers based on data identifier reconstruction. For example, the disclosed systems determine a cognate dataset which can include a data identifier associated with a source individual along with data identifiers of individuals related to the source individual. From the cognate dataset, the disclosed systems can reconstruct a data identifier for a precursor entity of the source individual. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems can determine a data link between a target individual and the source individual by determining a data link between the reconstructed data identifier and the target individual and by modifying the data link based on a relationship between the precursor entity and the source individual.
