ICE-ID: A Novel Historical Census Dataset for Longitudinal Identity Resolution
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
We introduce ICE-ID, a benchmark dataset comprising 984,028 records from 16 Icelandic census waves spanning 220 years (1703--1920), with 226,864 expert-curated person identifiers. ICE-ID combines hierarchical geography (farm→parish→district→county), patronymic naming conventions, sparse kinship links (partner, father, mother), and multi-decadal temporal drift -- challenges not captured by standard product-matching or citation datasets. This paper presents an artifact-backed analysis of temporal coverage, missingness, identifier ambiguity, candidate-generation efficiency, and cluster distributions, and situates ICE-ID against classical ER benchmarks (Abt--Buy, Amazon--Google, DBLP--ACM, DBLP--Scholar, Walmart--Amazon, iTunes--Amazon, Beer, Fodors--Zagats). We also define a deployment-faithful temporal OOD protocol and release the dataset, splits, regeneration scripts, analysis artifacts, and a dashboard for interactive exploration. Baseline model comparisons and end-to-end ER results are reported in the companion methods paper.
