What is data quality?

• Quality of ML model depends on data

Data quality dimensions

• Completeness
• Consistency
• Timeliness

Data quality dimensions example

Dimension	Example question to answer	Example of dimension quality
Accuracy	Does our data correctly describe the customer?	The customer's age in the data is 18, but is actually 32.
Completeness	Is there any customer data missing?	For 80% of the customers, we don't have a last name.
Consistency	Is the definition of the customer synchronized throughout the company?	The customer is stated as active in one database but not active in another.
Timeliness	When is the customer ordering data available?	The customer orders are synchronized at the end of the day but are not available in real-time.

Low data quality is not the end of the project!
