Fuzzy match


  • Advantages:

    • Improves data matching accuracy by accounting for variations and discrepancies.

    • Enhances the ability to identify similar items in large datasets.

    • Reduces false negatives that traditional matching methods might overlook.

    • Provides flexibility in matching criteria, allowing for customization based on specific needs.

    • Facilitates better decision-making through more reliable data integration.



  • Disadvantages:

    • May produce false positives if the thresholds for matching are not properly configured.

    • Can be computationally intensive, requiring more resources for processing.

    • Complexity in implementation may lead to longer development times.

    • Requires domain knowledge to set appropriate matching parameters effectively.

    • Performance may degrade with extremely large or noisy datasets.
