PII De-identification with Custom Models

This Hugging Face Space provides a tool for detecting and de-identifying personally identifiable information (PII) in text documents. The app uses a combination of regex patterns and NER models to identify sensitive information and offers three protection methods:

1. Replace: Replaces PII with entity type tags (e.g., <NAME>)
2. Mask: Masks PII with asterisks
3. Synthesize: Replaces PII with realistic synthetic data

Features

• Detects general PII like names, emails, phone numbers, credit cards
• Specialized detection for Indian identifiers (PAN, Aadhar)
• Optional medical entity recognition
• Multiple de-identification methods
• Detailed findings report

How to Use

1. Enter or paste text containing PII in the input box
2. Select a model type (general or medical)
3. Choose a de-identification approach
4. Click "Process Text" to analyze and protect the content

Models

• Main model: Kashish-jain/pii-protection-model
• Medical model: Medical entity recognition (when selected)
