Learning Over Dirty Data Without Cleaning

Summary: DLearn learns directly from dirty data without cleaning, bypassing data-repair bottlenecks. It leverages database constraints to infer relational models that summarize patterns across all plausible clean versions; empirical evaluation on large real-world datasets shows accuracy and efficiency.
