Abstract

Data quality and integrity are critical factors in ensuring the reliability and accuracy of machine learning (ML) models. Poor data quality—caused by missing values, inconsistencies, duplicate records, and biases—can lead to inaccurate predictions and unreliable insights. This paper explores key strategies that data engineers can implement to enhance data quality in ML pipelines. It covers data validation, data cleaning, automated anomaly detection, schema enforcement, and data governance frameworks. Additionally, it examines modern tools and frameworks, such as Great Expectations, TensorFlow Data Validation (TFDV), and Apache Deequ, which assist in maintaining high data integrity. The paper also highlights best practices for designing scalable and automated data quality monitoring systems to support real-time and batch ML workflows. By implementing these strategies, data engineers can ensure that ML models are trained on high-quality, trustworthy data, leading to more accurate and fair outcomes.
