  • Publication number: 20230368068
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for training and implementing pipeline error detection models to facilitate automated detection of data quality (DQ) issues within recurring data pipelines. For example, systems described herein involve training a pipeline error detection model by first constructing a plurality of DQ constraints for a recurring data pipeline based on ranges of values observed over a history of pipeline executions. The systems may further train the model to predict DQ issues by synthetically applying data variants to historical executions of the recurring data pipeline or to data pipelines having similar characteristics thereto. Once trained, the pipeline error detection model(s) can be applied to new executions of the data pipeline as they become available to quickly and efficiently predict whether a given execution includes a predicted DQ issue therein.

  • Publication number: 20230214597
    Abstract: According to implementations of the subject matter described herein, a clause-based semantic parsing solution is provided. In the solution, a first clause with independent semantics is determined from a target statement. The target statement is converted to a first intermediate statement based on a first logical representation corresponding to the first clause. Subsequently, at least one logical representation corresponding to at least part of semantics of the first intermediate statement is determined. The first logical representation and the at least one logical representation may be used to determine a target logical representation corresponding to semantics of the target statement. Therefore, more accurate semantic parsing can be achieved.
