Babel Street Chief Scientist Kfir Bar to deliver presentation at AI & Generative AI Summit, May 23, 2023
May 16, 2023 — Name matching, a function critical to watchlist screening, name searching, and connecting disparate data about people and organizations, is getting boost from large language models (LLMs). LLMs are deep learning algorithms that train on massive data sets to learn how to generate text, summarize information, and perform other text-based tasks. ChatGPT is one of the most prominent examples of an LLM.
The inherent variety and ambiguity of names make name matching a challenging task in the realm of natural language processing (NLP). NLP must consider errors and inconsistencies introduced by humans such as spelling errors, missing name components, out-of-order names, and use of initials. Furthermore, names can be written in different languages and scripts or can contain aliases and nicknames.
Kfir Bar, Chief Scientist at Babel Street will speak on “Using Large Language Models (LLMs) for Name Matching,” at the AI & Generative AI Summit on May 23, 2023 in Rishon LeTsiyon, Israel.
Bar will introduce a method for name matching using an LLM that works on the byte level, whereby personal names are represented as mathematical vectors. He will discuss results from using test sets with multiple scripts and compare the results from the LLM model to more traditional AI-based name matching.
