Liping Huang - Data Quality Management with Databricks
Data quality has been a critical and common practice employed across industries for many years. At the core, data quality encompasses six dimensions, including consistency, accuracy, validity, completeness, timeliness, and uniqueness.

However, a significant challenge remains in streamlining these processes to prevent data management issues and enhance their utility for downstream analytics, data science, and machine learning. The session will delve into the six dimensions of data quality based on the maturity level of data quality management implementation, detailing the specific techniques and features that enhance the Databricks Platform's functionality.
