Virtual Module Algorithms for InfoSphere MDM V11

Do you want to find member record matches, merge member records and improve the search algorithm for your InfoSphere MDM Virtual implementation? Then this course is for you. The InfoSphere MDM Virtual Module Algorithms V.11 course prepares students to work with and customize the configuration of the algorithms implemented in InfoSphere MDM Probabilistic Matching Engine (PME) for Virtual MDM implementations. PME is the heart of all matching, merging and searching for entities (person, organization, etc.) that exist in InfoSphere MDM. This course places a strong emphasis on exercises where students will implement the customization discussed in the course to perform matching, merging and searching on fields that are not provided by the default implementation. It is expected that after completing this course, students will feel comfortable customizing the algorithm for PME for Virtual implementation.

Issues

Understanding how matching and linking works for both virtual implementations of InfoSphere MDM
Understand the design of the MDM configuration and the database tables used by PME
Understand PME algorithms (standardization, clustering and comparison steps) and how to create and customize algorithms using a workshop
Understand how to analyze clustering steps in an algorithm
Understand how to generate weights for a given algorithm and how these weights are generated based on a sample database set
Understand how to analyze the weights generated by the workshop
Understand how to implement PME configuration for InfoSphere MDM virtual implementations
