Since I am delving quite deeply into Merge-Matching techniques it makes sense that I also define the 3 main types of Logical processes that can be used to decide logically what could or could not be a potential match of data source elements.
Plus its good for me to re-confirm my own understanding, I am open to other logic types that could be used in advanced matching as long as they are not too esoteric in nature.
Here list in order of my preference:
- Deterministic Logic - Deterministic Logic gives an equal weighting to the different types of information available and uses the overall weighting values as a way to make a logical decision. For example a decision is determined based on a real known value/score.
- Probabilistic Logic - Probabilistic Logic normally uses some statistical information that has been collected to make a decision. For Example it is more likely that this is the right decision based upon experience.
- Fuzzy Logic - Fuzzy logic is meant to resemble basic human reasoning and its use of partial or approximate information weighted against uncertainty to come to a logical decision. For example, its sounds like that item so maybe it is that item.
