Abstract
A computer-implemented method for k-anonymizing a dataset to provide privacy guarantees for all columns in the dataset can include obtaining, by a computing system including one or more computing devices, a dataset comprising data indicative of a plurality of entities and at least one data item respective to at least one of the plurality of entities. The computer-implemented method can include clustering, by the computing system, the plurality of entities into at least one entity cluster. The computer-implemented method can include determining, by the computing system, a majority condition for the at least one entity cluster, the majority condition indicating that the at least one data item is respective to at least a majority of the plurality of entities. The computer-implemented method can include assigning, by the computing system, the at least one data item to the plurality of entities in an anonymized dataset based at least in part on the majority condition.
