Constraint-based Explanation and Repair of Filter-based Transformations

Summary: Emeril interactively synthesizes filter transformations from constraints on code and output data, explaining violations to support bias-aware dataset construction. It finds valid repairs 34% more often and 77% faster than prior state of the art. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
