v0.27.014 Dec 2023
Release notes2 sources agree
This release of Watchman includes additional improvements to the search match scores to reduce false positives and increase true positive matches. A few of the specific improvements are:
1. Compare tokens in the search to the index tokens
  - i.e. "find matches for every search token" rather than "find match for every indexed token"
  - Improves scores of searches that don't include "middle" names
  - Prevents sanctioned names that are 1 word (HADI, EMMA, KAMILA) matching long searches
  - Has a side-effect that short search terms will have more false positives. I think this is a good trade off as the sanction lists will always contain the full name, but the search might not
2. Once a token has matched something, it can't match a different token
  - This prevents names with repeated words having artificially high scores
  - e.g. prevents any search containing "Vladimir" matching "VLADIMIROV, Vladimir Vladimirovich"
3. Weights each word-score by the length of the word, relative to the search and indexed name
  - This corrects for error that is introduced by splitting names into tokens and doing piecewise Jaro-Winkler scoring
  - Combing word-scores using a simple average gives short words (like Li, Al) equal weight to much longer words
  - The length-weighted scores are comparable to what you get by doing whole-name to whole-name Jaro-Winkler comparison
4. Punishes word-scores when the matching tokens have significantly different length
5. Punishes word-scores when the matching tokens start with different letters

This release of Watchman has removed Company/Customer models and Watches. They've been deprecated for a while and do not perform as users expect. Stay tuned for a future Moov OSS project integrating with Watchman for sanctions screening.

IMPROVEMENTS
- feat: return matchedName in non-OFAC results
- search: apply more edge case logic to decrease bad scoring
- search: return matchedName for OFAC SDNs, Alts, and DPL records
- test: remove duplicate (and skipped) UK/EU CSL tests

v0.20.027 Aug 2021
Release notes2 sources agree
Watchman v0.20.0 improves scoring by reducing false positives. There are two changes implemented in this release to achive better scoring. First is to keep a more accurate list of scores for our query, which means longer queries will return more accurate results than before. Second is that we will always score at least two words, which helps to reduce false positives from "first last" queries.

IMPROVEMENTS
- docs/intro: mention jaro-winkler is used and why
- search: properly keep top N word scores, match at least two words
BUG FIXES
- ofac: skip error with shared initial directory
BUILD
- build: use debian stable's slim image
- fix: Dockerfile to reduce vulnerabilities
- meta: fixup from gosec linters
