On November 16th (1st defense) and December 14th (public 2nd defense) Antoon Bronselaer of the University of Ghent defended his PhD thesis “Coreferentie van atomaire en complexe objecten” (Co-reference of atomatic and complex objects). I was member of his PhD committee. His research provides a well-founded and well-validated possibilistic framework for co-reference of objects, also known as entity resolution or record linkage. The possibilistic approach is especially suited for circumstances where data and its origins are incomplete and uncertain.
