ChoiceMaker Technologies has developed a patented machine-learning system,
ChoiceMaker 2, which matches records of people, businesses, or other entities in
large databases filled with inconsistent information. For instance, ChoiceMaker
2 can recognize that 'Arthur P. Goldberg' and 'Artie Paul Goldburg' are probably
the same individual.
Founded in 1998, ChoiceMaker Technologies is a New York City-based start-up
with a highly talented staff that includes five Ph.D.'s. The company has won
three Small Business Innovation Research grants from the National Science
Foundation totaling almost $1 million to further its ground-breaking work in
machine learning approaches to approximate record matching. Clients include the
