Title
Geocode Matching and Privacy Preservation
Abstract
Geocoding is the task of matching addresses to geographic locations,
such as Census areas or latitudes/longitudes. In many applications,
people's addresses are the key to geo-spatial data analysis and
mining. Privacy and confidentiality are of paramount importance when
geocoding data from, for example, cancer registries or crime
databases. While various approaches to privacy-preserving data
matching (also called record linkage or entity resolution) have been
developed in the past few years, most of these approaches have not
considered the specific privacy issues involved in geocode matching.
This talk will provide a brief introduction to privacy-preserving
data matching, and using several real-world scenarios the issues
involved in privacy and confidentiality for geocode matching will be
illustrated. Current research approaches will be presented, and the
directions of future research in this area will be discussed.
Biography
Peter Christen is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Computer
Science at the Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra.
He received his Diploma in Computer Science Engineering from the ETH
Zurich (Switzerland) in 1995, and his PhD in Computer Science from
the University of Basel (Switzerland) in 1999. His research
interests are data mining, record linkage and privacy-preservation
(in the context of record linkage and health informatics).
In the past seven years he has written or contributed to more than
25 papers in the area of record linkage, and he is the principal
developer of the Febrl (Freely Extensible Biomedical Record Linkage)
open source record linkage system, which has been developed since
2002 as part of a collaborative research project between the ANU and
the NSW Department of Health, Sydney.
