Error Diagnosis and Data Profiling with Data X-Ray
Summary: Data X-Ray diagnoses systematic, recurring data errors by uncovering shared hidden properties rather than merely cleaning symptoms. It combines a Bayesian cost model with parallel top-down search and interactive exploration of root-cause diagnoses. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
