Split/ Merge Technology can mask segmentation differences
The automatic split/merge technology provides a way to overcome segmentation differences to improve leveragability of TM data. The technology works as a segment adjuster. It modifies the asset’s segmentation to enhance the chances of finding a match in the TM. Segments that have been updated by the split/merge technology will tend to match the segmentation of the historical TM entries. Future matches for the same content will have to go through the same process each time, which has a performance cost.
