New Galaxy Tool: Identify Label Issues in Machine Learning Datasets Using Cleanlab

Quality control ML datasets

Machine learning (ML) models are only as good as the data they learn from — and mislabeled data can severely impact model performance. That’s where Cleanlab comes in. We’re excited to announce the integration of Cleanlab, a powerful open-source library for detecting label errors in datasets, into Galaxy by Mohammad Joudy! This integration allows users to run Cleanlab-based detection tool directly within the Galaxy platform.

What Can You Do With It?

• Automatically identify mislabeled data using Cleanlab functionality.

• Improve ML model accuracy by filtering or correcting noisy labels for both tasks - classification and regression

The image above shows the difference in the classification performance of a few classifiers across a few PMLB ML benchmark datasets. Classification improvements upto 20% are achieved for these datasets.

How It Works

1. Upload your dataset (with features and labels).

2. Run Cleanlab Galaxy tool to:

• Get a report to identify potential label errors

• Clean your original raw dataset by removing the errorneous/low-quality samples to get better quality dataset

The tool makes it easy to clean up datasets in a reproducible way before training your models — a crucial step in any robust ML pipeline.
