Abstract
Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products for building records from false positive matches are disclosed. A master record is identified that incorrectly groups a plurality of source records in a database, where the plurality of source records contain demographic information for multiple people. In the database, a first record, a second record, and exclusion data are created, where the first and second records contain demographic information for each person and the exclusion data indicates that the first record should not be linked to the second record. A matching criteria is applied to each record of a collection of source records that includes the first and second records and the plurality of source records to identify a set of connections. The first record and the second record are built based at least on the set of connections and stored in the database.
