Semi-Supervised Data Cleaning with Raha and Baran

Summary: Raha and Baran are configuration-free semi-supervised systems for end-to-end error detection and correction that learn to combine an auto-generated pool of base detectors/correctors from ~20 labeled tuples via label propagation. They leverage transfer learning from prior cleaning tasks to speed up detection and improve correction effectiveness. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
