HB DEID
HB Deid is a de-identification system for Swedish electronic health records. A demo is available here (in Swedish). It uses a Named Entity Recognition model trained on web text instead of sensitive data. The module for obscuring information deemed as potentially sensitive is similar to the real version.

Projects
DataLEASH: LEarning And SHaring under Privacy Constraints
The main objective of DataLEASH is to develop and analyze data analysis tools with disclosure control based on provable guarantees, for learning and sharing in an adversarial setting, both in terms of theoretical results and application to concrete scenarios.
