Data X-Ray: A Diagnostic Tool for Data Errors
Summary: Data X-Ray reframes cleaning as diagnosing errors in data generation, not purging them. A Bayesian cost model guides diagnostics; an efficient parallel algorithm scales to large datasets, delivering better diagnoses and large speedups over prior methods.
