Handling Overlapping Conflicts

Tue, 20 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

While classifying data, the providers may label an identical text under two different entities. This distinction arises from the detection strategies the classifiers adopt. Data Discovery handles these conflicts by applying certain rules on these conflicting entities.

The rules for handling the conflicting entities are as follows:

No overlap: If the two entities do not conflict, retain the results in the original form.

For example, Jake Filbert lives in Connecticut. If only Jake Filbert is identified, the result will be labeled as [NAME] lives in Connecticut.
