Intelligent duplicate detection for clean master data and reliable analyses

Duplicates in master data are a major obstacle to reliable financial reports, analyses, and data-driven decisions. Traditional methods for detecting duplicates quickly reach their limits: they require time-consuming, manual rule definitions, are highly data-specific, and can only be adapted to new data structures with significant maintenance effort.

In this keynote presentation, we’ll show how machine learning is fundamentally transforming duplicate detection in master data. Instead of rigid rules, machine learning models automatically identify patterns and relationships in the data, even when dealing with complex, heterogeneous data sources. Using a practical example, you will learn how existing master data management software can be specifically enhanced with customizable and interchangeable ML methods to sustainably improve data quality and significantly reduce manual effort.
