Abstract
The present disclosure relates to scalable systems and methods for detecting, labeling, and protecting sensitive data in natural language processing (NLP) environments. This includes NLP applications in artificial intelligence (AI) systems, such as language models (LMs) and generative AI (GenAI). More particularly, the present disclosure introduces a hierarchical, context-aware labeling mechanism that is optimized using an LM in conjunction with machine learning (ML) techniques to ensure the utility-preserving effective protection of sensitive data with, for example, minimal false positives and false negatives and/or optimal precision and recall (e.g., in terms of an F1 Score).
