Can Foundation Models Wrangle Your Data?

Summary: Demonstrates that large foundation models, via prompting without task-specific fine-tuning, can generalize to five classical data cleaning and integration tasks and achieve state-of-the-art performance. Identifies limits on private/domain data and integration challenges for DM systems. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
