  3. Privacy Center on Law and Information Policy Highly Critical of Federal Plan to Relax Restrictions on Education Records This notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) represents a significant new privacy invasion. We do not oppose general collection of information about students and its use in a nonidentifiable form. In fact we believe that the collection of aggregate information on students is a critical tool for civil rights enforcement and in assuring that every student receives equal access to a high quality education. CLIP’s Academic Director, Professor Joel R. Reidenberg,stated that “the promiscuous sharing of children’s educational records that would be permitted by these proposals undermines privacy and is outside the Department’s authority.”

  12. Exact v. Fuzzy Matching(Deterministic v. Probabilistic) Exact matching drives the majority of identity resolution (Pareto Rule—80% is easy) Probabilistic algorithms – Soundex, QTR, Edit Distance, Neural Networks (Pareto Rule—20% require 80% of effort) You want a system that does what YOU, a human, would do

  13. Identity Resolution (K12) • There are ~55,000 unique first names among students in Arkansas and ~40,000 last names. • Approximately 20% of Arkansas students share both the same first and last name with another student. (1 out of 5!)

  14. Identity Resolution (K12) • There are 4,026 students in Arkansas that share an SSN with at least one other student in the state. • Between August and January, 874 student transfers to other schools resulted in an SSN change. • Between August and January, an additional 1,018 students changed their SSN—we have records for only 300 of these changes. • There are ~17,000 students in Arkansas with a “900” SSN

  15. Identity Resolution (Workforce) • ~60,000,000 records for 11 years, 2,938,718 unique SSNs, few DOBs, inconsistent name formats. • 7,865 SSNs used by two or more people, for a total of 18,278 different individuals. Those would be combined incomes and treated as the same person if SSN was the primary key. • The same person has two or more SSNs (because of a typo/transposition) 13,373 times. There would be 13,373 additional (non-existent) people with separate incomes if SSN was the primary key.

  16. Record Linking: Merge/Purge File A File B Your knowledge is limited to what’s in these two files ONLY

  17. Knowledgebase Approach All known representations are stored to facilitate matching in the future and possibly resolve past matching errors. PII Bob Smith, 1/31/1980,SSN1 Robert Smith, 1/31/1981, SSN1 KIM Knowledgebase Bobby Smith, 1/31/1980,SSN2
