Cleaning messy data with Julia and Gen
Alex Lew
Julia is home to a growing ecosystem of probabilistic programming languages—but how can we put them to use for practical, everyday tasks? In this talk, we'll discuss our ongoing effort to automate common-sense data cleaning by building a declarative modeling language for messy datasets on top of Gen.
