An entity resolution system configured to process an inbound identity record and to generate a relevance score for the inbound identity record is disclosed. One process of resolving identity records and detecting relationships between entities may be performed using a pre-determined or configurable entity resolution rules. Further, the entity resolution system may assign base relevance scores, association relevance scores, and derived relevance scores to each resolved entity. The relevance score for the inbound identity record may be computed based on base relevance scores, association relevance scores, derived relevance scores, and/or relationship strengths of entities related to the inbound identity record.
