CluSanT: Differentially Private and Semantically Coherent Text Sanitization (2025.naacl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing implementations of Differential Privacy (DP) in NLP typically degrade semantic integrity and readability for humans, posing significant challenges for applications requiring high-quality, coherent text processing. |
| Approach: | They propose a text sanitization framework based on Metric Local Differential Privacy (MLDP) that uses large language models to create a set of potential substitute tokens and a parameterized cluster embedding to samaritize/substitute sensitive tokens. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework can be tuned with parameters such that existing state-of-the-art token sanitization algorithms can be described and improved. |
