NetOwl NameMatcher
NetOwl NameMatcher is the best-of-breed intelligent name matching software that addresses the needs of many critical applications. These applications call for accurate and fast matching of names expressed by varying transliterations and spellings and are used, for example, for:
- Homeland security and counter terrorism (e.g., terrorist watch lists, visa screening)
- Regulatory compliance (e.g., Know Your Customer, Politically Exposed People, OFAC)
- Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
Name matching against a database of names, especially a large-scale, multi-ethnicity name database, poses serious challenges for many reasons including multiple transliteration variants of foreign names, name order variation, tokenization variation, and misspellings. Traditional approaches to the name matching problem suffer from a precision problem (extraneous matches) as well as a recall problem (missing matches).
With its unique, empirically driven, machine learning-based probabilistic approach, NameMatcher provides highly accurate, scalable, and flexible automated name matching for many languages and ethnicities.
