  • Abstract
    Anomalies in data can cause a lot of problems in the data analysis processes. Thus, it is necessary to improve data quality by detecting and eliminating errors and inconsistencies in the data, known as the data cleaning process [1]. Since detection and correction of anomalies requires detailed domain knowledge, the involvement of experts in the field is essential to the success of the process of cleaning the data. However, considering the size of data to be processed, this process should be as automatic as possible so as to minimize the time spent [1].
