Data matching accuracy based on context features

Abstract:

A method is provided for data matching between a set of source data structures and a set of target data structures. The method includes obtaining, using a processor device configured to perform machine learning, source to target matching results with matching scores, based on the sets of source and target data structures. The method further includes calculating, by the processor device, context information for data structure pairs based on a structure similarity and an ontology similarity between constituent data structures thereof. Each of data structure pairs include as the constituent data structures a respective source data structure and a respective target data structure from the sets of source and target data structures. The method also includes updating, by the processor device, the matching scores based on the context information. The method additionally includes controlling, by the processor device, a hardware device responsive to at least one updated matching score.
