Human-AI Collaborative Data Engineering Pipeline

Data engineering teams require active human oversight when AI agents transform public datasets. Create an automated human-in-the-loop pipeline that cleans public datasets, flags data quality anomalies, and routes uncertain transformations to human engineers.

Challenge brief

What you are building

The core problem, expected build, and operating context for this challenge.

Develop an interactive human-in-the-loop data pipeline for automated data cleaning and anomaly triage.

Delivery guide

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates pipeline ability to flag ambiguous records for human review vs auto-processing clear records.

Datasets

Shared data for this challenge

Review public datasets and any private uploads tied to your build.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

correct_triage

Verifies that invalid age triggers human review

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

triage_precision

Precision of routing corrupt data to human review • target: 0.95 • range: 0-1

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Learning goals

What you should walk away with

  • Build dynamic data quality profiling scripts

  • Implement human reviewer decision handoff interfaces

  • Automate target ETL loads post-human verification
