• Exponentially more complex the more data you have
• If we have 1,000,000 customers
• Information contained on each customer on 10 systems
• 10
60
operations to compare every record
• 10
80
atoms in the universe
• Increases in complexity if data tables are inconsistent

Graph algorithms and human validation
Does Data Science have a solution?
Similarity Graph Human validationGraph
• Use distance metrics to
cluster similar vectors
• Cross-validate on
additional fields
• Calculate a reliability
score
• Use graph algorithms
to structure data
• Automatically validate
records above
threshold
• Spot checks to
validate algorithm
• Ambiguous matches to
be manually validated
• Easy interface to
manage data
Validations used to retrain underlying algorithm to allow it to improve over time
