Abstract

A computer implemented method for analyzing a listing object to define a match to a candidate object among many possible candidate objects is disclosed. The method includes an operation to receive a listing object as an input. The method also includes an operation to generate a set of candidate objects based on characteristics of the listing object. The candidate objecting used to generate a listing-candidate pair defined by pairing the listing object with one of the candidate objects. The method may also include operations to process the listing-candidate pair such as an operation to normalize the listing object into a canonical form. Another operation can generate a matching feature vector for the listing-candidate pair. Where the matching feature vector includes a matching score based on a common feature between the candidate object and the canonical form of the listing object. In another operation, the method analyzes the matching feature vector with a judging committee module to render a match judgment. The match judgment based on evaluating the results of the judging committee module to determine whether the listing object and the candidate object are a match. The method also…
