Using LLMs for data cleaning

Started May 20, 2025

Abstract or project description

In this, the AI age, people are ever-eager to expand the scope of how we use AI. However, at this breakneck rate of progress, we often tend to short-change or entirely skip over validation that the AI is actually good at what it's doing. Aditya is curious to see if automating any part of the data science process is a valid use of LLMs. In this project, he is specifically focusing on the data cleaning process. He will work with a selection of popular commercial LLMs to see how well they are able to perform a variety of data cleaning tasks he selects. His results will enable him to comment on the strengths and weaknesses of LLM-directed data science, as well as compare the efficacy of the models he works with.
