Abstract

Various issues can deteriorate data quality in Machine Learning. Among them, one may cite the quality of the features, which can be impaired by the presence of noise and missing data. Noise can be inputted in data in several steps during data collection, storage and transmission. In supervised problems, they can be present both in the labels and in the predictive input features. Missing values are also a concern, as other information about the data item can be important and must be regarded. This project will investigate these two problems and strategies to deal with them, by taking possible corrective approaches.
