Data Curation at Scale: The Data Tamer System

Summary: Introduces Data Tamer: an end-to-end, scalable data curation system that uses ML for attribute identification, schema/table grouping, transformations, and deduplication with human-in-the-loop visualization to assemble composites from sequences of sources. Evaluated on real enterprise workloads (up to tens of thousands of sources), showing ≈90% reduction in curation cost versus deployed production software. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
