<DIV>Hi there,<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>I did some work on exploring Febrl version 4.02 and the record linking literature, in view of preparing a deduplication project that I have to complete soon. &nbsp;&nbsp;<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>Not everything went well, and I hope somebody could help me with some useful answers to the next list of issues:<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p><OL style="MARGIN-TOP: 0cm" type=1> <LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt">It appeared that the installation process was successful. However, when starting Febrl, the following message appears on the shell that opens behind GUI: </LI></OL><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; WARNING: root: Cannot import Numeric and PyML modules <o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p><OL style="MARGIN-TOP: 0cm" type=1 start=2> <LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt">&nbsp;When trying to run a de-duplication project on a dataset of 1,069,472, it progressed till 7%, and after that Febrl got blocked, the shell behind GUI showing the message &#8220;MemoryError&#8221;</LI></OL><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p><OL style="MARGIN-TOP: 0cm" type=1 start=3> <LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt">When trying to run a de-duplication project on a dataset of 130,213, it progressed 61% and gave the message &#8220;MemoryError&#8221;</LI></OL><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p><OL style="MARGIN-TOP: 0cm" type=1 start=4> <LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt">When playing with the data set of 10,000 records &#8220;dataset_A_10000.csv&#8221; that is in instatllation folder &#8220;C:\Febrl4\febrl-0.4.02\data\dedup-dsgen&#8221;, everything worked. However, I verified the results of several comparison functions (among them Jaro and Winkler), and I found that Febrl gave values that were lower than what I computed.&nbsp; </LI></OL><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>I would be grateful to anyone who can give me some advice on how these issues can be solved.<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>Regards,<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>Dinu<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p> <DIV>--------------------------------------------------------------------- Dinu&nbsp;Corbu Senior&nbsp;Research&nbsp;Assistant Ph.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;+61&nbsp;(07)&nbsp;373&nbsp;55600&nbsp; Fax&nbsp;&nbsp;+61&nbsp;(07)&nbsp;373&nbsp;56812 Key&nbsp;Centre&nbsp;for&nbsp;Ethics,&nbsp;Law,&nbsp;Justice&nbsp;and&nbsp;Governance Griffith&nbsp;University Mt&nbsp;Gravatt&nbsp;campus Messines&nbsp;Ridge&nbsp;Road,&nbsp;Mt&nbsp;Gravatt,&nbsp;QLD,&nbsp;4122,&nbsp;Australia --------------------------------------------------------------------- </DIV></DIV>
