There is a paper describing such a method (not sure if that is what was implemented):

"Zhongjun Jin, Michael R. Anderson, Michael J. Cafarella, H. V. Jagadish: Foofah: Transforming Data By Example. SIGMOD Conference 2017: 683-698"

No, the paper co-incidentally shares a similar name, but the capabilities are different, and there is no relation in terms of people or underlying technology. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/transform-d...
