Abstract:
Methods and techniques may be provided for matching user profiles on distinct social media platforms. A first profile is retrieved from a first social media platform. The first profile is identified by one or more search criteria. Responsive to identifying an instance of the one or more search criteria on a second social media platform, a first probability is determined. A second profile is identified by the one or more search criteria on the second social media platform. The first probability predicts whether the second profile is associated with an entity associated with the first profile. The determining the first probability further comprises comparing an attribute of the first profile to an attribute of the second profile. Responsive to determining that the first probability exceeds a threshold, a match indicating that the second profile is associated with an entity associated with the first profile is recorded.
