Abstract
An apparatus includes a processing device configured to obtain data records associated with an enterprise system comprising strings associated with an attribute. The processing device is also configured to generate a similarity matrix with entries comprising values characterizing similarity between respective pairs of the strings. The processing device is further configured to apply a thresholding filter to values in the entries of the similarity matrix to create an adjacency matrix, and to construct a graph network of the data records based at least in part on the adjacency matrix, wherein the graph network comprises edges connecting pairs of the data records. The processing device is further configured to perform a clustering operation on the graph network to identify clusters of the data records for the attribute, and to initiate remedial action in the enterprise system responsive to identifying a given cluster comprising a given subset of the data records.
