Abstract
An improvement in detection of alias names of an entity is an important factor in many cases like terrorist and criminal network. Accurately detecting these aliases plays a vital role in various applications. In particular, it is critical to detect the aliases that are intentionally hidden from the real identities, such as those of terrorists and frauds. Alias Detection (AD) as the name suggests, a process undertaken in order to quantify and identify different variants of single name showing up in multiple domains. This process is mainly performed by the inversion of one-to-many and many-to-one mapping. Aliases mainly occur when entities try to hide their actual names or real identities from other entities i.e.; when an object has multiple names and more than one name is used to address a single object. N-gram distance algorithm (N-DIST) have find wide applicability in the process of AD when the same is based upon orthographic and typographic variations. Kondrak approach, a popular N-DIST works well and fulfill the cause, but at the same time we uncover that (N-DIST) suffers from serious inabilities when applied to detect aliases occurring due to the transliteration of Arabic name into English. This is the area were we have tried to hammer in this paper. Effort in the paper has been streamlined in extending the N-gram distance metric measure of the approximate string matching (ASM) algorithm to make the same evolve in order to detect aliases which have their basing on typographic error. Data for our research is of the string form (names & activities from open source web pages). A comparison has been made to show the effectiveness of our adjustment to (N-DIST) by applying both forms of (N-DIST) on the above data set. As expected we come across that adjusted (A-N-DIST) works well in terms of both performance & functional efficiency when it comes to matching names based on transliteration of Arabic into English language from one domain to another.
