Portuguese PII Detection Model | 278M Parameters | Open Source

Model Description

OpenMed-PII-Portuguese-BigMed-Base-278M-v1 is a transformer-based token classification model fine-tuned for Personally Identifiable Information (PII) detection in Portuguese text. This model identifies and classifies 54 types of sensitive information including names, addresses, social security numbers, medical record numbers, and more.

Key Features

Portuguese-Optimized: Specifically trained on Portuguese text for optimal performance
High Accuracy: Achieves strong F1 scores across diverse PII categories
Comprehensive Coverage: Detects 55+ entity types spanning personal, financial, medical, and contact information
Privacy-Focused: Designed for de-identification and compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations
Production-Ready: Optimized for real-world text processing pipelines

Performance

Evaluated on the Portuguese test split (AI4Privacy + synthetic data):

Metric	Score
Micro F1	0.8854
Precision	0.8850
Recall	0.8859
Macro F1	0.5257
Weighted F1	0.8763
Accuracy	0.9353

Usage

Quick Start

python

from transformers import pipeline

# Load the PII detection pipeline
ner = pipeline("ner", model="OpenMed/OpenMed-PII-Portuguese-BigMed-Base-278M-v1", aggregation_strategy="simple")

text = """
Paciente Carlos Mendes (nascido em 15/03/1985, CPF: 987.654.321-00) foi atendido hoje.
Contato: carlos.mendes@email.pt, Telefone: +351 912 345 678.
Endereço: Avenida da Liberdade 42, 1250-096 Lisboa.
"""

entities = ner(text)
for entity in entities:
    print(f"{entity['entity_group']}: {entity['word']} (score: {entity['score']:.3f})")

De-identification Example

python

def redact_pii(text, entities, placeholder='[REDACTED]'):
    """Replace detected PII with placeholders."""
    # Sort entities by start position (descending) to preserve offsets
    sorted_entities = sorted(entities, key=lambda x: x['start'], reverse=True)
    redacted = text
    for ent in sorted_entities:
        redacted = redacted[:ent['start']] + f"[{ent['entity_group']}]" + redacted[ent['end']:]
    return redacted

# Apply de-identification
redacted_text = redact_pii(text, entities)
print(redacted_text)

Batch Processing

python

from transformers import AutoModelForTokenClassification, AutoTokenizer
import torch

model_name = "OpenMed/OpenMed-PII-Portuguese-BigMed-Base-278M-v1"
model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained(model_name)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

texts = [
    "Paciente Carlos Mendes (nascido em 15/03/1985, CPF: 987.654.321-00) foi atendido hoje.",
    "Contato: carlos.mendes@email.pt, Telefone: +351 912 345 678.",
]

inputs = tokenizer(texts, return_tensors='pt', padding=True, truncation=True)
with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(**inputs)
    predictions = torch.argmax(outputs.logits, dim=-1)

Training Details

Dataset

This model was trained on a combination of:

AI4Privacy PII Masking 200K: Multilingual base dataset (200K records across 8 languages)
NVIDIA Nemotron-PII: Seed dataset for synthetic data generation
Synthetic Portuguese Data: ~80K high-quality samples generated with locale-specific formatting (CPF format, +55 phones, Brazilian names, R$ currency)
Format: BIO-tagged token classification
Labels: 76 BIO tags (54 entity types)

Training Configuration

Max Sequence Length: 512 tokens
Epochs: 3
Framework: Hugging Face Transformers + Trainer API

Intended Use & Limitations

Intended Use

De-identification: Automated redaction of PII in Portuguese clinical notes, medical records, and documents
Compliance: Supporting GDPR, and other privacy regulation compliance
Data Preprocessing: Preparing datasets for research by removing sensitive information
Audit Support: Identifying PII in document collections

Limitations

Important: This model is intended as an assistive tool, not a replacement for human review.

False Negatives: Some PII may not be detected; always verify critical applications
Context Sensitivity: Performance may vary with domain-specific terminology
Language: Optimized for Portuguese text; may not perform well on other languages
