I attended “The UK Administrative Data Research Network Annual Research Conference 2017” in Edinburgh UK. The website for the conference can be seen here.

One day before the conference we had the ADRN All Hands Meetings at the same venue as the conference. Both the all hands meeting and the conference were very interesting. See the conference website for the schedule of sessions.

We presented four papers in this conference.

• Record Linking Using Metric Space Similarity Search by Alan Dearle (Abstract)
• Evaluating Population Data Linkage: Assessing stability, scalability, resilience and robustness across many data sets for comprehensive linkage evaluation by Tom Dalton (Abstract)
• Systematically corrupting data to assess data linkage quality by Ahmad Alsadeeqi (Abstract)
• An Identifier Scheme for the Digitising Scotland Project by Alasdair Gray (Abstract)

Here is are some tweets from myself during the conference.

This conference was also the first one I attended to that had a conference run.
