Abstract
During a correction technique, a computer system determines that an identifier for an individual received from a source is invalid based on a technique used to generate identifiers for individuals. In response, the computer system calculates one or more possible correct identifiers and associated confidence values based on the identifier and the source. Then, the computer system selects at least one of the possible correct identifiers as the correct identifier.
