Everyone knows, in his home full of ice. Santa lists children both naughty and nice.
But the lists aren't exclusive, most children are both. And the scripts made to pair them were as slow as a sloth.
So Santa decided a plot he would hatch. He'd ask for some new code to make records match.
He instructed his elves "Make it fast, make it cheap". "Fix it by Christmas" he said with a leap.
So the wisest of elves, he had a big think, he decided on Python and a package named splink!
It pairs up the records, with methods statistic, to match them all up through routes probabilistic!
The process is faster than the one of Saint Nicks'. We can run it on Synapse or perhaps Databricks.
And so in this session we'll tell you their tale. How the elves learnt to link records, not fail.
They know what is what, they can tell who is who, and after our story perhaps you can too!
