Building Scalable Customer Identity Resolution Pipelines on AWS Using AI
Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs.
This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context.
We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing.

Toledo Modern Singles Home Speed Dating
**💙 Live Video Speed Dating with Toledo Locals — Real People**
Once on Zoom, you'll go through host-managed one-on-one rounds with people from Toledo sorted by age and compatibility, as a skilled host keeps the pace natural.
On completing your sign-up, you submit a short personality questionnaire — the matching data comes from to give you a personally matched Toledo lineup, meaning your rounds are curated and not random.
Once the event finishes, your mutual matches are disclosed — but only if the feeling was mutual — and you reach out whenever you are ready.
**Register under your age group:**
- **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=532.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Toledo&groupurlname=club-for-serious-connections-day-trips&ar=18-32&face_v=4.0)
- **Ages 30-46** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=532.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Toledo&groupurlname=club-for-serious-connections-day-trips&ar=30-46&face_v=4.0)
- **Ages 40-58** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=532.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Toledo&groupurlname=club-for-serious-connections-day-trips&ar=40-58&face_v=4.0)

**⚠️ RSVP is not enough:** Clicking rsvp does not complete your registration, so use the link for your age bracket above, sign up, and finish the short personality quiz — places are capped so do this promptly, and your spot is held only when both steps are done.
---
**Ideal if you are:**
- People based in Toledo moving beyond apps that waste evenings for no return and want to talk to real people tonight.
- Anyone throughout Toledo who are tired of matches that fade out before meeting and want actual face-to-face conversation.
- Singles across Toledo who are tired of endless scrolling and zero real dates and are after something more than a swipe can offer.
- Someone around Toledo ready to move past matches that ghost after two messages and are looking for real connection.
- Anyone across Toledo moving beyond the app treadmill that goes in circles and want to talk to real people tonight.
**Your four steps**
1. **Find your age group** – using the link for your age bracket, then take the brief quiz, since your spot is held only once this is done.
2. **Open the call** – by clicking the Zoom invite at the event time, works on any modern device with a camera, and from there a live host guides everything.
3. **Connect** – quick private video rounds with Toledo singles curated for you by age and personality, while the host controls the pace so you can relax, since every person you meet was matched to you on purpose.
4. **Learn your results** – we share mutual match results after the session closes, since only mutual matches exchange details and everything else stays private, and you are in control of everything that happens next.
