Auto-Test: Learning Semantic-Domain Constraints for Unsupervised Error Detection in Tables

Summary: Auto-Test learns Semantic-Domain Constraints from corpora for unsupervised error detection, removing per-table expert specification. Optimization-based distillation yields a provably reliable core that detects errors and augments cleaning; 2400-column benchmark and code released. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
