abstract: Links datasets through fuzzy string matching using pretrained text embeddings.
  Produces more accurate record linkage when lexical string distance metrics are a
  poor guide to match quality (e.g., "Patricia" is more lexically similar to "Patrick"
  than it is to "Trish"). Capable of performing multilingual record linkage. Methods
  are described in Ornstein (2025) <https://doi.org/10.1017/pan.2025.10016>.
