Abstract

A clustering-based approach to data standardization is provided. Certain embodiments take as input a plurality of addresses, identify one or more features of the addresses, cluster the addresses based on the one or more features, utilize the cluster(s) to provide a data-based context useful in identifying one or more synonyms for elements contained in the address(es), and standardize the address(es) to an acceptable format, with one or more synonyms and/or other elements being added to or taken away from the input address(es) as part of the standardization process.
