`sparknlp_jsl.annotator.deid.deIdentification`#

Module Contents#

Classes#

`DeIdentification`	Contains all the methods for training a DeIdentificationModel model.
`DeIdentificationModel`	Removes or obfuscates personal information from the input text.

class DeIdentification#

Bases: sparknlp_jsl.common.AnnotatorApproachInternal, sparknlp_jsl.annotator.deid.deidentication_params.DeIdentificationParams, sparknlp_jsl.annotator.handle_exception_params.HandleExceptionParams

Contains all the methods for training a DeIdentificationModel model.

This module can obfuscate or mask the entities that contains personal information. These can be set with a file of regex patterns with setRegexPatternsDictionary, where each line is a mapping of entity to regex

Notes

If the mode is set to ‘obfuscate’, the DeIdentificationModel utilizes java.security.SecureRandom for generating fake data. You can select a generation algorithm by configuring the system environment variable SPARK_NLP_JSL_SEED_ALGORITHM. The chosen algorithm may impact the generation of fake data, performance, and potential blocking issues. For information about standard RNG algorithm names, refer to the SecureRandom section in the Number Generation Algorithms. The default algorithm is ‘SHA1PRNG’.

Input Annotation types	Output Annotation type
`DOCUMENT, CHUNK, TOKEN`	`DOCUMENT`

The configuration params for that module are in class DeidentificationParams.

Parameters:

regexPatternsDictionary – Dictionary with regular expression patterns that match some protected entity
obfuscateRefFile – File with the terms to be used for Obfuscation
refFileFormat – Format of the reference file
refSep – Sep character in refFile
selectiveObfuscationModesPath –

Dictionary path where is the json that contains the selective obfuscation modes
’obfuscate’: Replace the values with random values. ‘mask_same_length_chars’: Replace the name with the asterisks with same length minus two plus brackets on both end. ‘mask_entity_labels’: Replace the values with the entity value. ‘mask_fixed_length_chars’: Replace the name with the asterisks with fixed length. You can also invoke “setFixedMaskLength()” ‘skip’: Skip the values (intact)

The entities which have not been given in dictionary will deidentify according to :param:`mode`
entityCasingModesPath –

Dictionary path where is the json that contains the entity casing modes.
’lowercase’: Converts all characters to lower case using the rules of the default locale. ‘uppercase’: Converts all characters to upper case using the rules of the default locale. ‘capitalize’: Converts the first character to upper case and converts others to lower case. ‘titlecase’: Converts the first character in every token to upper case and converts others to lower case.

setMaskingPolicy(mask: str)#

Sets the masking policy

same_length_chars: Replace the obfuscated entity with a masking sequence composed of asterisks and surrounding squared brackets, being the total length of the masking sequence of the same length as the original sequence. Example, Smith -> [***]. If the entity is less than 3 chars (like Jo, or 5), asterisks without brackets will be returned.

Parameters:: mask (str) – The masking policy

setMetadataMaskingPolicy(value: str)#

Sets metadata masking policy. If specified, the metadata includes the masked form of the document. Select the following masking policy if you want to return mask form in the metadata:

‘entity_labels’: Replace the values with the entity value.
‘same_length_chars’: Replace the name with the asterix with same length minus two plus brackets on both end.If the entity is less than 3 chars (like Jo, or 5), we can just use asterix without brackets.
