Heuristic Duplicate Record Detection Algorithm

A Heuristic Duplicate Record Detection Algorithm is a duplicate record detection algorithm that is a Heuristic Data Processing Algorithm.

• AKA: Deterministic Duplicate Record Detection Algorithm.
• Context:
  • It can be applied by a Heuristic Duplicate Record Detection System (to solve a Heuristic Duplicate Record Detection Task).
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • a Data-Driven Duplicate Record Detection Algorithm.
  • a Heuristic Inter-Database Coreferent Record Resolution Algorithm.
• See: Probabilistic Duplicate Record Detection Algorithm.
