Abstract

Since the right decision is made from the correct data, assessing data quality is an important process in computational science when working in a data-driven environment. Appropriate data quality ensures the validity of decisions made by any decision-maker. A very promising area to overcome common data quality issues is computational intelligence. This paper examines from past to current intelligence techniques used for assessing data quality, reflecting the trend for the last two decades. Results of a bibliometric analysis are derived and summarized based on the embedded clustered themes in the data quality field. In addition, a network visualization map and strategic diagrams based on keyword co-occurrence are presented. These reports demonstrate that computational intelligence, such as machine and deep learning, fuzzy set theory, evolutionary computing is essential for uncovering and solving data quality issues.
