Abstract
This application relates to apparatus and methods for automatically associating customer data to a corresponding customer. A computing device may receive linking data identifying a plurality of links, where each like associates at least two nodes that each represent customer data. The computing device may partition the linking data into multiple partitions, and cause a union find algorithm to be executed for each partition in parallel to associate each node with a parent ID. The computing device may iteratively execute a global shuffle algorithm to place all same nodes in a same partition, and may assign a same parent ID to the same nodes. The computing device may iteratively execute a path compression algorithm across all partitions to generate a graph output that associates all child nodes of a same parent node with the same parent ID.
