Seek&Hide: Anonymising a French SMS corpus using natural language processing techniques
Abstract
This article presents the system Seek&Hide, a text message processing tool developed for the sud4science LR project. It performs the anonymisation/de-identification of a corpus. At present, it has been used to anonymise the sud4science LR corpus of French text messages collected during the project. This is done in two phases. In the first phase, it automatically processes over 70% of the corpus. The rest of the corpus is processed in the second phase, aided by an expert annotator via a web interface specifically designed to simplify the task.
