Book Description
Regulation, risk awareness and technological advances are increasingly drawing identity search functionality into business, security and data management processes, as well as fraud investigations and counter-terrorist measures.
Over the years, a number of techniques have been developed for searching identity data, traditionally focusing on logical algorithms. These techniques often failed to take into account the complexities of language and culture that provide the rich variations seen in names used around the world. A new paradigm has now emerged for understanding the way that identity data should be searched. This new approach focuses on understanding the influences that languages, writing systems and cultural conventions have on proper names.
A must-read for anyone involved in the purchase, design or use of identity matching systems, this book describes how linguistic knowledge can be used to create a more reliable and precise identity search, and looks at the practical benefits that can be achieved by implementing third-generation linguistic search technology.

Book Description
Linguistic methods reform identity matching
From the Back Cover
Identity matching has become an integral part of many business and security processes, from border control and crime investigation to anti-money laundering and client data management.
Following years of struggling with computational techniques, the new linguistic identity matching approach finally offers an appropriate way for such processes to balance the risk of missing an identity match with the costs of overmatching. This new paradigm for searching identity data focuses on understanding the influences that languages, writing systems and cultural conventions have on proper names.
In this book, the authors draw on their many years of identity matching experience to explain why linguistic knowledge is the key to improving both the recall and precision of identity search systems, and how organisations can best harness this knowledge to improve the way they work with identity data.
