Abstract

A method, computer system, and a computer program product for masking identifying traits contained in response text is provided. Embodiments may include receiving a request to anonymize response text in response to a predefined respondent interaction, wherein the response text is generated by the respondent and then obtaining the response text, wherein the obtained response text has semantic characteristics. Next, the obtained response text may be input into a natural language processing (NLP) algorithm and thereafter receiving an alternative masking text as output from the NLP algorithm, wherein the received alternative masking text maintains the semantic characteristics of the obtained response text. Finally, the response text may be replaced with the received alternative masking text.
