A computing device receives a training data set that includes a plurality of positive examples of sensitive data and a plurality of negative examples of sensitive data. The computing device analyzes the training data set using machine learning to generate a machine learning-based detection (MLD) profile that can be used to classify new data as sensitive data or as non-sensitive data. The computing device computes a quality metric for the MLD profile.

User interface and workflow for performing machine learning

A computing device receives a training data set that comprises a plurality of sensitive documents and a plurality of non-sensitive documents. The computing device determines a quality of the training data set. The quality may be determined using k-fold cross validation and/or latent semantic indexing. In response to determining that the training data set has a satisfactory quality, the computing device then analyzes the training data set using machine learning to train a machine learning-based detection (MLD) profile, the MLD profile to be used by a data loss prevention (DLP) system to classify new documents as sensitive documents or as non-sensitive documents.

Data quality assessment for vector machine learning

A computing device receives a document that was incorrectly classified as sensitive data based on a machine learning-based detection (MLD) profile. The computing device modifies a training data set that was used to generate the MLD profile by adding the document to the training data set as a negative example of sensitive data to generate a modified training data set. The computing device then analyzes the modified training data set using machine learning to generate an updated MLD profile.

Incremental machine learning for data loss prevention

A computing device receives a training data set that includes a plurality of positive examples of sensitive data and a plurality of negative examples of sensitive data via a user interface. The computing device analyzes the training data set using machine learning to generate a machine learning-based detection (MLD) profile that can be used to classify new data as sensitive data or as non-sensitive data. The computing device displays a quality metric for the MLD profile in the user interface.
