Towards Dependable Data Repairing with Fixing Rules

Summary: Fixing rules for dependable data repair: evidence patterns, negative patterns, and a fact value deterministically locate and fix errors. Analyzes complexity, offers consistency checks, and provides repair algorithms with empirical gains over prior automated cleaners on real and synthetic data.
