Automatic Constraint Generation and Verification

Abstract

Correctness is a key problem at every stage of data science projects: completing an entire analysis without a serious error at some stage is surprisingly hard. Even errors that reverse or completely invalidate the analysis can be …

Bad data is widespread and pervasive.¹

Only datasets and analytical processes that have been subject to rigorous and sustained quality assurance processes are typically capable of achieving low or zero error rates. "Badness" can take many forms and have various aspects, including incorrect values, missing values, duplicated entries, misencoded …
