OpenMed-PII-Dutch-mLiteClinical-135M-v1

Dutch PII Detection Model | 135M Parameters | Open Source

Model Description

OpenMed-PII-Dutch-mLiteClinical-135M-v1 is a transformer-based token classification model fine-tuned for Personally Identifiable Information (PII) detection in Dutch text. This model identifies and classifies 54 types of sensitive information including names, addresses, social security numbers, medical record numbers, and more.

Key Features

• Dutch-Optimized: Specifically trained on Dutch text for optimal performance
• High Accuracy: Achieves strong F1 scores across diverse PII categories
• Comprehensive Coverage: Detects 54 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

Usage

Quick Start

from transformers import pipeline

# Load the PII detection pipeline
ner = pipeline("ner", model="OpenMed/OpenMed-PII-Dutch-mLiteClinical-135M-v1", aggregation_strategy="simple")

text = """
Patiënt Jan Jansen (geboren 15-03-1985, BSN: 987654321) is vandaag gezien.
Contact: jan.jansen@email.nl, Telefoon: +31 6 12345678.
Adres: Herengracht 42, 1015 BN Amsterdam.
"""

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

De-identification Example

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

from transformers import AutoModelForTokenClassification, AutoTokenizer
import torch

model_name = "OpenMed/OpenMed-PII-Dutch-mLiteClinical-135M-v1"
model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained(model_name)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

texts = [
    "Patiënt Jan Jansen (geboren 15-03-1985, BSN: 987654321) is vandaag gezien.",
    "Contact: jan.jansen@email.nl, Telefoon: +31 6 12345678.",
]

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
