ICARUS: Minimizing Human Effort in Iterative Data Completion

Summary: ICARUS reduces expert labor by presenting small, high-impact matrix subsets for edits to the matrix. Schema-informed hierarchies amplify edits into rules; heuristic subset selection yields ~50% improvement, with users filling 68% in an hour. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
