Description:
Links datasets through fuzzy string matching using pretrained text embeddings. Produces more accurate record linkage when lexical string distance metrics are a poor guide to match quality (e.g., "Patricia" is more lexically similar to "Patrick" than it is to "Trish"). Capable of performing multilingual record linkage. Methods are described in Ornstein (2025) <https://joeornstein.github.io/publications/fuzzylink.pdf>.
