Robin Linacre – Rapid deduplication and fuzzy matching of large datasets using Splink
www.pydata.org
Data deduplication is a ubiquitous data quality problem that most data people will encounter at some point in their career. It happens whenever multiple records are collected about the same person or other entity without a unique identifier that ties these records together.
This talk provides beginners with everything they need to start linking and deduping large datasets using Splink (https://github.com/moj-analytical-services/splink), a free Python library.
PyData is an educational program of NumFOCUS, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in the United States. PyData provides a forum for the international community of users and developers of data analysis tools to share ideas and learn from each other. The global PyData network promotes discussion of best practices, new approaches, and emerging technologies for data management, processing, analytics, and visualization. PyData communities approach data science using many languages, including (but not limited to) Python, Julia, and R.
PyData conferences aim to be accessible and community-driven, with novice to advanced level presentations. PyData tutorials and talks bring attendees the latest project features along with cutting-edge use cases.
