Limitations with respect to Data Completion
Falcon × Does not guide the user on edits.
SampleClean × × Addresses duplication and value errors for aggregate queries only. Does not fill in incomplete datasets.
Data Imputation & Holoclean × × × Low precision or recall, as shown in Section 4.4 and 4.6.3, since limited evidence in the data for missing values.
Transformational Edits -Trifacta, Potter’s Wheel, Polaris × While these systems generalize edits based on transforms, they do not guide users on effective transforms.
Interactive Learning - ActiveClean, Guided Data Repair × Suggests rules based on underlying models, which is not applicable when specific data instances are missing.
