Overview

Extractors overview

In this post, we will show an overview of the implemented extractors. The extractors are used to extract relevant named entities from text. These entities can be people names, organizations, addresses, social security numbers, etc. The entities are then used to anonymize the text.

All extractors and their API references are available in the extractors module. What follows is the presentation of the different extractors anonipy provides.

Generators overview

In this post, we will show an overview of the implemented generators. The generators are used to create new texts that would serve as substitutes to the extracted named entities. The substitutes can be then used to replace and anonymize the text.

All generators and their API references are available in the generators module. What follows is the presentation of the different generators anonipy provides.

Strategies overview

In this post, we will show an overview of the implemented strategies. The strategies delegate how the original text will be anonymized given the extracted named entities. They output the anonymized text and the list of replacements that were made to the original text.

All strategies and their API references are available in the strategies module. What follows is the presentation of the different strategies anonipy provides.
