Official implementation of "Learning to Index Quality: Multi-Dimensional Data Quality at Scale"
InferQ is a novel learned index system for efficient, real-time data quality monitoring. By learning the relationship between data characteristics and quality metrics, InferQ achieves 10× speedup with R² > 0.65 accuracy compared to direct metric computation.
Learning to Index Quality: Multi-Dimensional Data Quality at Scale
Authors: [Your Names]
Conference/Journal: [Venue]
[Paper PDF] | [arXiv] | [Slides]
- ✅ Accuracy: R² = 0.65–0.90, MAE < 0.02 across three real-world datasets
- ⚡ Speed: 10× faster than direct computation (8–15× for large datasets)
- 📦 Compact: Index size < 5MB even for 10M+ rows (0.05% of data size)
- 📈 Scalable: Constant query time regardless of dataset size
InferQ consists of three main stages:
- Multi-Target Quality-Aware Discretization (MTQD) - Novel algorithm that optimizes binning for multiple quality metrics simultaneously
- Feature Selection & Budget Allocation - Intelligent selection of most predictive features with optimal bin budget distribution
- Learned Index Construction - Random Forest model mapping data characteristics to quality predictions
InferQ predicts three row-level quality metrics:
- Row Completeness: Fraction of non-null values in the row (0–1)
- Row Range Conformance: Fraction of values within expected ranges (0–1)
- Row Consistency: Consistency of value patterns within the row (0–1)

You can customize experiment parameters in experiments/run_experiments.py:
# Dataset sizes (modify load_dataset calls)
datasets = {
'adult': load_dataset('adult', max_rows=50000),
'cardio': load_dataset('cardio', max_rows=50000),
'flight-price': load_dataset('flight-price', max_rows=50000)
}
# Budget configurations (modify in experiments)
budgets = [10, 25, 50, 100, 200] # Number of bins
# Model hyperparameters (modify in build_index_for_dataset)
n_estimators = 50 # Number of trees in Random Forest
max_depth = 15 # Maximum tree depth
initial_bins = 100 # Initial discretization granularityThe experiments use three datasets (included in example_data/):
- Adult Census - 48,842 rows, demographic data
- Cardiovascular Disease - 70,000 rows, medical records
- Flight Delays - 539,383 rows, airline operational data
To use your own dataset:
# Your dataset should be a pandas DataFrame with numeric columns
df = pd.read_csv('your_data.csv')
# Select numeric columns
numeric_df = df.select_dtypes(include=[np.number])
# Build index
from scripts.build_index import build_quality_index
index, _ = build_quality_index(numeric_df, budget=100)from inferq.row_metrics import RowQualityMetric, get_row_level_registry
class MyCustomMetric(RowQualityMetric):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__("my_metric", requires_config=False)
def compute(self, row):
# Your custom logic here
return custom_score
# Register and use
registry, metrics = get_row_level_registry()
registry.register(MyCustomMetric())import pickle
# Save index
with open('my_index.pkl', 'wb') as f:
pickle.dump(index, f)
# Load index
with open('my_index.pkl', 'rb') as f:
index = pickle.load(f)# Process large datasets in chunks
chunk_size = 10000
predictions = []
for chunk in pd.read_csv('large_file.csv', chunksize=chunk_size):
pred = index.predict_batch(chunk)
predictions.append(pred)
all_predictions = pd.concat(predictions, ignore_index=True)- Budget Selection: Start with budget=100 for most datasets. Increase to 200 for better accuracy if needed.
- Initial Bins: Use
initial_bins = 2-3 × budgetfor optimal discretization quality. - Memory: Index size ≈ 50KB per 1000 rows. A 1M row dataset needs ~50MB.
- Build Time: Expect ~1 minute per 10K rows. This is a one-time offline cost.
- Query Time: Constant ~1ms regardless of dataset size. Batch processing recommended for throughput.
- ARCHITECTURE.md: Detailed system design and component interactions
- EXPERIMENTS_SUMMARY.md: Complete experimental setup and results
