Re: [datameet] Phonetic Similarity

Soundex is not enough. We went through metaphone and double-metaphone as well. The last showed the best performance when combined with simple ways to reduce the search space (e.g., names that start with the same alphabet). But it still had too many false positives and negatives. We ended up using

Re: [datameet] Re: Assembly constituency KML and JSON, from the Election Commission

The electoral list PDF usually has a hand drawn map. But it is not worth the effort (i was involved in such an effort in the past). The boundaries of the booth change every six months and that too in a random fashion. Further the map is often out of sync with the actual content of the voterlist.

At my firm (fourthlion) we did a bit of that - discovering the boundaries of the ward/other geography and trace population growth - using the voter list for the 2009-2014 time period and for one constituency. It is a cumbersome process for multiple technical reasons including free text fields,

Re: [datameet] Any privacy issue in publishing names of voters?

Couple of thoughts based on my experience with voter lists: 1. The value of the names (for profiling population clusters) increase with granularity. Would recommend sharing at state level. You could potentially annotate with variables (e.g., abstract region - north/south) to make it little more
