CLAMS: Bringing Quality to Data Lakes
Summary: CLAMS discovers and enforces expressive integrity constraints from lake data with limited schema, inferring schemas and constraints from RDF-like triples. It scales out, supports human-in-the-loop validation and repair, demonstrated on a real enterprise lake with 1.2B triples. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
