A Randomized Blocking Structure for Streaming Record Linkage
Summary: ExpBlock: a randomized blocking structure for streaming record linkage that probabilistically retains frequently accessed and recently used blocks in memory while letting inactive/old blocks and records decay to prioritize fresh, promising candidates. Implements lightweight renewal via random choices (no costly sorting), enabling simple, efficient in-memory maintenance and empirically scalable, timely, accurate linkage on high-rate streams.
