"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." [SNIP] Parity is headquartered in San Diego, California, with offices in Bengaluru and New Delhi, India. https://www.elsevier.com/about/press-releases/corporate/elsevier-to-acquire-parity-computing-inc-a-company-applying-artificial-intelligence-to-some-of-the-most-difficult-disambiguation-challenges-in-science,-technology-and-medicine
