ERACER: A Database Approach for Statistical Inference and Data Cleaning

Summary: ERACER is a framework that infers missing values and cleans errors via belief propagation on relational networks, implementable in SQL/UDFs. Uses shrinkage to cleanse dirty data and handles cyclic dependencies, achieving Bayesian accuracy with approximate inference on synthetic data. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
