Baran: Effective Error Correction via a Unified Context Representation and Transfer Learning
Summary: Baran introduces a unified context representation and transfer learning to fuse multiple error-corrector models for data repair. Modeling full context—value, tuple co-occurrences, and attribute type—yields richer candidates and higher precision, with Wikipedia pretraining boosting recall and needing ~20 labeled tuples.
