The problem
Names written in different scripts do not match across systems, causing failed lookups.
What to build
Create a tool that converts and normalises names between scripts and suggests canonical forms.
Success looks like
High match rate between script variants on a test set and a reviewable list of uncertain cases.
Suggested technologies
- Transliteration
- Phonetic matching
- Normalisation
- API design
- Evaluation sets
