Abstract:
A method and system of matching field values of a field type are described. Blurring operations are applied on a first and second values to obtain blurred values. A first maximum score is determined from first scores for blurred values, where each one of the first scores is indicative of a confidence that a match of the first and the second values occurs with knowledge of a first blurred value. A second maximum score is determined from second scores for the blurred values, where each one of the second scores is indicative of a confidence that a non-match of the first and the second values occurs with knowledge of the first blurred value. Responsive to determining that the first maximum score is greater than the second maximum score, an indication that the first value matches the second value is output.
