Match Tuning

Tuning a matching algorithm is the process of refining the algorithm to produce the desired outcome for a variety of data scenarios. The tools available for tuning include:

  • A match tuning configuration which allows data stewards to evaluate and adjust a matching algorithm for better accuracy when importing source records. With this tool, users can analyze data and iterate on the matching algorithm before running an import.

  • The Match Result tab in conjunction with the Duplicates tabs which use standard data profiling tools to identify data entries that are appropriate for matching records.

Match Tuning Configuration

Use the following steps to configure and use your tuning solution:

  1. Initial setup for match tuning, as defined in the Initial Setup for Match Tuning topic here.

  2. Create a match tuning configuration, as defined in the Configuring Match Tuning topic here.

Match Results Tab Use

Review and improve a matching algorithm's effectiveness using the legacy functionality:

  1. Match Result tab, as defined in the Matching Algorithm - Match Result Tab topic here.

  2. Confirmed Duplicates and Confirmed Non Duplicates tabs, as defined in the Matching Algorithm - Duplicates Tabs topic here.
