ActiveClean: An Interactive Data Cleaning Framework For Modern Machine Learning

Summary: ActiveClean is a progressive data-cleaning framework that interleaves cleaning with ML training, updating models as analysts clean small data batches. Key ideas include importance weighting, dirty-data detection, and a visual interface, enabling robust learning in high-dimensional pipelines, demonstrated on video classification and topic modeling.
