This talk introduces a novel tool that tests the data quality of a given dataset from the Open Data Hub. Besides formal tests of the data fields, the tool uses a machine learning approach to test the quality of images and whether the content of an image agrees with its description. Hence the tool can provide valuable insights into potential errors or issues with the data and images.
This talk introduces a novel tool that tests the data quality of a given dataset from the Open Data Hub. Besides formal tests of the data fields, the tool uses a machine learning approach to test the quality of images and whether the content of an image agrees with its description. Hence the tool can provide valuable insights into potential errors or issues with the data and images.
The tool also provides graphical representations of historical trends in data quality, allowing users to track improvements over time and identify patterns or inconsistencies. Furthermore, the machine learning component for analyzing images is a key feature of this tool, enabling automatic assessment of image quality and accuracy. By leveraging machine learning algorithms, the tool can identify discrepancies between the content of an image and its description with high precision.
