KATARA: A Data Cleaning System Powered by Knowledge Bases and Crowdsourcing

Summary: Katara is a data cleaning system powered by knowledge bases and crowdsourcing that interprets table semantics to align data with KBs and identify correct versus incorrect values. It then outputs top-k repairs and demonstrates scalable, cross-domain applicability with efficient, crowd-assisted annotation. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
