"Elsevier today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to
acquire Parity Computing Inc. a California-based business that employs
artificial intelligence to provide high-accuracy entity resolution,
profiling and recommendations for STM content and applications in the
world of research.

"Parity provides disambiguation technology for Elsevier’s abstract and
indexing databases that help researchers, universities, national
bodies and other stakeholders improve decision-making and answer
critical questions. Resolving ambiguities in entities and
relationships that appear in publications – such as author and
institution names, and citations and attributions for articles,
grants, and patents – lays the foundation for the analytics and
decision support capabilities of Scopus."

Parity is headquartered in San Diego, California, with offices in
Bengaluru and New Delhi, India.
