Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and systems are presented for performing comprehensive and accurate matching of user accounts with one or more known entities based on image-linking graphs. Images related to each known entity are retrieved from one or more online sources. Faces are extracted from the images. Based on attributes of the faces in the images, an image-linking graph is generated for the entity. When a user account is determined to be a potential match for the entity based on text-based attributes, an image associated with the account may be obtained. If the image matches with any one of the faces in the image-linking graph, an action is performed to the user account based on a position of the matched face in the image-linking graph.
