Arnold: Declarative Crowd-Machine Data Integration

Summary: Proposes Labor Independence, a declarative data‑independence layer that separates logical cleaning operators from their physical implementations so the system can choose per-operator/per-record crowd vs. machine implementations. Implements Arnold, an architecture that uses this model to optimize quality–cost tradeoffs for large-scale data cleaning and integration. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
