Cleaning Inconsistencies in Information Extraction via Prioritized Repairs

Summary: Declarative framework for cleaning inconsistent IE outputs by integrating prioritized repairs into document spanners, enabling user-declared conflict-resolution policies that capture industrial cleaning operations and POSIX regex semantics. Analyzes unambiguity and expressive power of such policies, with both positive and negative (decidability/complexity) results. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
