Abstract
The disclosed technology is generally directed to data classification. In one example of the technology, training data and a ground truth that indicates sensitive data within the training data is received. Based at least on the training data, natural language processing is used to learn features. The features include a naming feature that is associated with names of data resources in the training data. Based at least on the training data and the ground truth, using supervised learning, a model that is a heuristic model and/or a machine learning model is created. Input data information that is associated with input data is received. The model is used to determine a data resource sensitivity estimator (DRSE) value for each portion of the input data. The determination is based on the combination of features for the input data. Potentially sensitive data within the input data is flagged based on the DRSE values.
