Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 11:
12. The method of claim 11, wherein:
generating the linkage scores comprises at least one of profile matching or co-occurrence matching;
generating the linkage scores further comprises determining the linkage score for each pair of nodes of a group of the nodes based upon a distance between each node of each pair of nodes; and
determining the linkage scores further comprises:
calculating, using a machine learning classification model, a respective distance between each node of the group of the nodes based on a second degree of whether each node of the group of the nodes is linked to at least an event identifier or a user identifier;
calculating, using an entity matching algorithm, a score representing similarities between two data points;
training the machine learning classification model using training data uses attributes of two identifiers as input data and outputs a score between 0 and 1 to represent a degree of similarity between the two identifiers, wherein a score of 1 indicates a match and a score of 0 indicates no match;
determining whether a pair of nodes exceed a predetermined linkage threshold; and
when the pair of nodes exceeds the predetermined linkage threshold, forming a criteria for at least one of:
linking the pair of nodes;
determining a distance of each linkage between the pair of nodes, where a shorter distance of a longer distance of each link can indicate a respective probability that the pair of nodes are related by at least the event or the user identifier; or
grouping the pair of nodes into a larger connected component group based on a cluster of components on a graph.
