A Cost-Based Model and Effective Heuristic for Repairing Constraints by Value Modification
Summary: Cost-based model for repairing constraints by value modification, enabling record-linkage–style search for low-cost fixes. NP-complete in database size; two equivalence-class–based greedy heuristics with cubic-time baselines and duplicate-record detection optimizations, yielding scalable repairs with little quality loss.
