LightDeIdentification

Light DeIdentification is a light version of DeIdentification. It replaces sensitive information

class LightDeIdentification(classname='com.johnsnowlabs.nlp.annotators.deid.LightDeIdentification', java_model=None)#

Bases: sparknlp_jsl.common.AnnotatorModelInternal

Light DeIdentification is a light version of DeIdentification. It replaces sensitive information in a text with obfuscated or masked fakers. It is designed to work with healthcare data, and it can be used to de-identify patient names, dates, and other sensitive information. It can also be used to obfuscate or mask any other type of sensitive information, such as doctor names, hospital names, and other types of sensitive information.

Additionally, it supports millions of embedded fakers and If desired, custom external fakers can be set with setCustomFakers function.

It also supports multiple languages such as English, Spanish, French, German, and Arabic. And it supports multi-mode de-Identification with setSelectiveObfuscationModes function at the same time.

Parameters:

mode (str) – Mode for Anonimizer [‘mask’|’obfuscate’]
dateEntities (list[str]) – List of date entities. Default: [‘DATE’, ‘DOB’, ‘DOD’]
obfuscateDate (bool) – When mode==’obfuscate’ whether to obfuscate dates or not. This param helps in consistency to make dateFormats more visible. When setting to True, make sure dateFormats param fits the needs. If the value is True and obfuscation is failed, then unnormalizedDateMode param will be activated. When setting to ‘False’, then the date will be masked to <DATE>. Default: False
unnormalizedDateMode (str) – The mode to use if the date is not formatted. Options: [mask, obfuscate, skip]. Default: obfuscate.
days (int) – A number of days to obfuscate the dates by displacement. If not provided a random integer between 1 and 60 will be used.
useShiftDays (bool) – Whether to use the random shift day when the document has this in its metadata. Default: False
dateFormats (list[str]) – List of date formats to automatically displace if parsed.
region (str) – The region to use for date parsing. This property is especially used when obfuscating dates. You can decide whether the first part of 11/11/2023 is a day or the second part is a day when obfuscating dates. Options: ‘eu’ for European Union, ‘us’ for the USA, Default: ‘eu’
obfuscateRefSource (str) – The source of obfuscation of to obfuscate the entities. For dates entities, This property is invalid. The values ar the following: custom: Takes the entities from the setCustomFakers function. faker: Takes the entities from the Faker module both : Takes the entities from the setCustomFakers function and the faker module randomly.
language (str) – The language used to select the regex file and some faker entities. The values are the following: ‘en’(English), ‘de’(German), ‘es’(Spanish), ‘fr’(French), ‘ar’(Arabic) or ‘ro’(Romanian). Default:’en’.
seed (int) – It is the seed to select the entities on obfuscate mode. With the seed, you can reply to an execution several times with the same output.
maskingPolicy (str) –

Select 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. entity_labels: Replace the values with the corresponding entity labels. fixed_length_chars: Replace the obfuscated entity with a masking sequence composed of a fixed number of asterisk.
fixedMaskLength (int) – The length of the masking sequence in case of fixed_length_chars masking policy.
sameLengthFormattedEntities (list[str]) – List of formatted entities to generate the same length outputs as original ones during obfuscation. The supported and default formatted entities are: PHONE, FAX, ID, IDNUM, BIOID, MEDICALRECORD, ZIP, VIN, SSN, DLN, LICENSE, PLATE.
genderAwareness (bool) – Whether to use gender-aware names or not during obfuscation. This param effects only names. If the value is true, it might decrease performance. Default: False
ageRanges (list[int]) – list of integer specifying limits of the age groups to preserve during obfuscation.
selectiveObfuscationModes (dict[str, list[str]]) –

The dictionary of modes to enable multi-mode deIdentification.
’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`
customFakers (dict[str, list[str]]) – The dictionary of custom fakers to specify the obfuscation terms for the entities. You can specify the entity and the terms to be used for obfuscation.
