It keeps the same DistilBERT-size GlobalPointer span extractor family as temsa/IrishCore-GlobalPointer-135M-v1-rc4, but adds contextual labels that the core model did not serve:

STREET_ADDRESS
CITY
COUNTY
DATE_OF_BIRTH
AGE

The model still covers the core Irish structured labels:

PPSN
POSTCODE
PHONE_NUMBER
EMAIL
PASSPORT_NUMBER
ACCOUNT_NUMBER
BANK_ROUTING_NUMBER
SWIFT_BIC
CREDIT_DEBIT_CARD
FIRST_NAME
LAST_NAME

Positioning

rc3 is a decoder-hardening release over rc2: the weights and ONNX graph are unchanged, but the packaged decode policy now suppresses additional Irish allocation/contact false positives, keeping irish_gov_contact_policy_v1 at 1.0000 F1 while lifting multilingual PPSN overall to 0.9333 and demographic holdout v2 to 1.0000.

Use this release when you need broader masking for Irish gov / HSE / citizen-support text, including user turns and assistant answers that contain:

personal address fragments
city / county
date of birth
age
official callback numbers or public-service mailbox emails that still need masking in assistant output

If you only need the narrower Irish-core structured label set and want maximum CPU throughput, temsa/IrishCore-GlobalPointer-135M-v1-rc4 remains the faster option.

Architecture

base encoder: OpenMed/OpenMed-PII-mLiteClinical-Base-135M-v1
extractor head: GlobalPointer-style typed span matrix
runtime: single-pass span extraction
output policy: deterministic bracket masking, for example [PII:PPSN]
deployment target: ONNX Runtime CPU with dynamic q8 per-channel quantization

This is not a generative model and does not rewrite text. It predicts typed spans and the provided inference scripts replace them with [PII:LABEL] placeholders.

Decoder Policy

The serving path is still raw-only in the sense that there is no external scanner/validator service. The repo does include bundled decoder repairs for highly structured spans:

PPSN normalization and overlap repair
passport cue-based repair
contextual date-of-birth repair
full-email recovery
contextual phone extension
Eircode recovery

These repairs live inside common.py and are part of the published inference path.

DiffMask rc6 q8	0.9733	—	—	0.9274	130.3415

Tradeoff:

this expanded-label line is materially better on contextual Irish masking tasks
it is slower than the core-only GlobalPointer line on CPU because it carries a broader label inventory and more decoder work

Evaluation Notes

globalpointer_demographic_patch_v2_test is the corrected held-out benchmark. The earlier v1 demographic patch contained invalid synthetic Eircodes in some rows.
irish_gov_contact_policy_v1 is the policy-aligned assistant-output benchmark for this release.
The legacy irish_gov_chatbot_redteam_v2 negatives still assume some public assistant contact details should not be masked. That assumption does not match this release's target policy.

Usage

Full checkpoint:

python3 inference_mask.py   --model temsa/IrishCore-GlobalPointer-ContextPII-135M-v1-rc3   --text "I live at 14 Main Street, Dublin, Co. Dublin, D02 XY45 and my date of birth is 03/02/1991."

ONNX q8:

python3 inference_mask_onnx.py   --model temsa/IrishCore-GlobalPointer-ContextPII-135M-v1-rc3   --text "Employment Permit documents can be sent to EPStamp4@enterprise.gov.ie."

Expected masking style:

I live at [PII:STREET_ADDRESS], [PII:CITY], [PII:COUNTY], [PII:POSTCODE] and my date of birth is [PII:DATE_OF_BIRTH].

Limitations

This release is Irish-first. Multilingual overall precision is still pulled down by extra name detections outside the primary Irish target domain.
The decoder deliberately prefers recall on structured Irish identifiers. The remaining multilingual overall gap is mostly driven by valid person-name masking in benchmark rows that only score PPSN. If you need a stricter non-Irish name policy, test on your own corpora before promoting beyond rc.

Portfolio Comparison

Updated: 2026-03-16.

Use this section for the fastest public comparison across the temsa PII masking portfolio.

The first core table only includes public checkpoints that ship both comparable q8 accuracy and q8 CPU throughput.
The first PPSN table only includes public artifacts that ship comparable PPSN accuracy and CPU throughput.
Missing cells in the archive tables mean the older release did not ship that metric in its public bundle.
DiffMask rows use the reconciled clean_single_pass harness that matches the deployed runtime.
GlobalPointer rows use the public raw-only span-matrix release bundle and its packaged q8 ONNX artifact.
The same content is shipped as PORTFOLIO_COMPARISON.md inside each public model repo.
