Automated Methods for Identity Resolution across Heterogeneous Social Platforms
Paridhi Jain · 2015
Users create identities on multiple social platforms for various purposes but often do not link them. Unlinked identities raise concerns for enterprises and security practitioners. To address the concerns, we propose novel methods to search and link user identities scattered across heterogenous social networks. Our methods are automated and access only public current and historic data of a user. Evaluation on fairly large datasets from multiple platforms prove our methods' efficiency in identity resolution of an online user.
