Abstract:
1. A machine-readable storage device having machine readable instructions for optimizing data quality dimensions tangibly stored thereon which when executed by the machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising: copying a primary data processing path to a secondary data processing path; iteratively reconfiguring and testing the secondary processing path to identify at least one configuration meeting a set of quality requirements, wherein configuration of the secondary processing path includes a set of sampling operators, a set of data group sizes, and a set of interpolation rates; and iteratively testing configurations comprising: processing a partition of data in the secondary processing path to compute averages of data quality dimensions, wherein the data quality dimensions describe utility of data; computing a fitness of the data quality dimension averages; deriving a further configuration for the secondary processing path when the computed fitness does not meet quality requirements; and sending the at least one configuration to the primary processing path when the fitness meets the quality requirements; and applying the identified configuration to the primary data processing path.
