NADEEF: A Generalized Data Cleaning System

Summary: NADEEF is an extensible, generic data cleaning system with a programmable interface separated from a core engine for flexible rule specification. It enables heterogeneous rule types beyond CFDs/MDs/ETL, interleaved detection and repair, easy deployment, and a data-quality dashboard for custodians. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
