To develop ML based system for matching addresses and entity names:

  • It may have spelling issues, order might be different, abbreviations may exist
  • Our aim is to build a ML based system that can accurately match the addresses and entity with the ones already in our database

Results

Test recall (KPI) for different models are given as below:

Challenges

  • The database is mostly on addresses and entities (company names & person names)
  • Different models are being built for address and entity separately
  • Entity matching can be tricky as it contains both person name and company name which ideally should require different set of features
  • Handling and Searching in a large amount of data
  • Annotation of data consistently by multiple SMEs was a challenge

Solution

  • Solr is used to search an address/entity from the database and to determine top 10,20 or 30 results
  • The top results are then passed to ML to determine the best match among them
  • MariaDB (SQL) database is used
  • The deployment framework is Flask API + Gunicorn
