Abstract

We present a new approach to anonymizing personal data in text files. In the conducted research, an approach was applied that enables the analysis of sentence sentences with the use of neural networks. Contrary to other currently proposed methods, the presented work analyzes the context of a fragment of the text, which enables the detection of sensitive information not only on the basis of specific words but on the basis of “understanding” the context, such as “mayor of Paris”, “son of the CEO” of a specific company. We present a proprietary solution using convolutional networks connected with glial cells, enabling the selection of the optimal size of the CNN network structure.

The work was supported by The National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR), the project no POIR.01.01.01-00-1431/19.
