Paper — Company Names Matching in the Large Patents Dataset

Company Names Matching in the Large Patents Dataset

This paper addresses the name matching (duplicate detection) problem in the US patent dataset. It contains more then 400K unique company names spellings.

Finally we apply them to the whole dataset and estimate the positives and negatives rates.
