Fast Approximate Denial Constraint Discovery

Summary: Two‑phase approach: build a condensed, cache‑friendly 'clue set' (parallelizable) then transform to evidence sets to discover approximate denial constraints tolerant of exceptions in dirty data. Extends evidence‑inversion for approximate DCs, yielding ~7–8× avg speedups and up to orders‑of‑magnitude gains over prior parallel methods. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
