Type inference refers to the task of inferring the data type of a given column of data. Current approaches often fail when data contains missing data and anomalies, which are found commonly in real-world data sets. In this paper, we propose ptype, a probabilistic robust type inference method that allows us to detect such entries, and infer data types. We further show that the proposed method outperforms the existing methods.

ptype：概率类型推断

类型推断是指推断给定数据列的数据类型的任务。当数据包含缺失数据和异常时，当前的方法通常会失败，这在现实世界的数据集中很常见。在本文中，我们提出了 ptype，这是一种概率稳健的类型推断方法，它允许我们检测此类条目并推断数据类型。我们进一步表明，所提出的方法优于现有方法。
