Large-Scale Parallel Matching of Social Network Profiles

A profile matching algorithm takes as input a user profile of one social network and returns, if existing, the profile of the same person in another social network. Such methods have immediate applications in Internet marketing, search, security, and a number of other domains, which is why this topic saw a recent surge in popularity.
