KATARA: Reliable Data Cleaning with Knowledge Bases and Crowdsourcing
Summary: KATARA is an end-to-end cleaning system that aligns tables with knowledge bases and decomposes semantic interpretation and error validation for crowdsourcing. It identifies correct/incorrect tuples and produces top-k repairs with KB- and crowd-backed reliability. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
