Australian-focused PII detection and anonymization for the insurance industry

Project description

Allyanonimiser

PyPI version Python Versions License: MIT

Australian-focused PII detection and anonymization for the insurance industry.

Features

  • Australian-Specific PII Detection: Specialized recognizers for Australian TFNs, Medicare numbers, driver's licenses, and other Australian-specific identifiers.
  • Insurance Industry Focus: Recognition of policy numbers, claim references, vehicle identifiers, and other insurance-specific data.
  • Long Text Processing: Optimized for processing lengthy free-text fields like claim notes, medical reports, and emails.
  • Custom Pattern Creation: Easy creation of custom entity recognizers for organization-specific data.
  • Synthetic Data Generation: Generate realistic Australian test data for validation.
  • LLM Integration: Use Language Models to create challenging datasets for testing.
  • Extensible Architecture: Built on Presidio and spaCy with a modular, extensible design.

Installation

PyPI install

# Install from PyPI
pip install allyanonimiser

# Install the required spaCy model
python -m spacy download en_core_web_lg

Requires Python 3.8 or higher.

Quick Start

from allyanonimiser import create_au_insurance_analyzer

# Create an analyzer with Australian and insurance patterns
analyzer = create_au_insurance_analyzer()

# Analyze text
results = analyzer.analyze(
    text="Please reference your policy AU-12345678 for claims related to your vehicle rego XYZ123.",
    language="en"
)

# Print results
for result in results:
    print(f"Entity: {result.entity_type}, Text: {result.text}, Score: {result.score}")

Processing Insurance Documents

Claim Notes

from allyanonimiser import analyze_claim_notes

# Long claim note text
claim_note = """
Claim Details:
Spoke with the insured John Smith (TFN: 123 456 789) regarding damage to his vehicle ABC123.
The incident occurred on 14/05/2023 when another vehicle collided with the rear of his car.
Policy number: POL-987654321

Vehicle Details:
Toyota Corolla 2020
VIN: 1HGCM82633A123456
Registration: ABC123

Contact Information:
Phone: 0412 345 678
Email: john.smith@example.com
Address: 123 Main St, Sydney NSW 2000
"""

# Analyze the claim note
analysis = analyze_claim_notes(claim_note)

# Access structured information
print("Incident Description:", analysis["incident_description"])
print("\nPII-rich segments:")
for segment in analysis["pii_segments"]:
    print(f"  - {segment['text'][:50]}... (PII likelihood: {segment['pii_likelihood']:.2f})")

# Anonymize the text
from allyanonimiser import EnhancedAnonymizer
anonymizer = EnhancedAnonymizer(analyzer=create_au_insurance_analyzer())
anonymized = anonymizer.anonymize(claim_note)
print("\nAnonymized text:")
print(anonymized["text"])

Processing Emails

from allyanonimiser.insurance import InsuranceEmailAnalyzer

email_text = """
From: adjuster@insurance.com.au
To: customer@example.com
Subject: Your Claim CL-12345678

Dear Mr. Smith,

Thank you for your recent claim submission regarding your vehicle (Registration: XYZ123).

We have assigned your claim number CL-12345678. Please reference this number in all future correspondence.

Your policy POL-9876543 covers this type of damage, and we'll need the following information:
1. Your Medicare number
2. Additional photos of the damage
3. The repair quote from the mechanic

Please call me at 03 9876 5432 if you have any questions.

Kind regards,
Sarah Johnson
Claims Assessor
"""

email_analyzer = InsuranceEmailAnalyzer()
analysis = email_analyzer.analyze(email_text)

print("Email Subject:", analysis["subject"])
print("Claim Number:", analysis["claim_number"])
print("Policy Number:", analysis["policy_number"])
print("Customer Name:", analysis["customer_name"])
print("Identified PII:", analysis["pii_entities"])

Creating Custom Patterns

from allyanonimiser import CustomPatternDefinition, create_pattern_from_examples

# Create a custom pattern for internal reference numbers
internal_ref_examples = [
    "Internal reference: REF-12345",
    "Ref Number: REF-98765",
    "Reference: REF-55555"
]

pattern = create_pattern_from_examples(
    entity_type="INTERNAL_REFERENCE",
    examples=internal_ref_examples,
    context=["internal", "reference", "ref"],
    pattern_type="regex"
)

# Add to an existing analyzer
analyzer.add_pattern(pattern)

Using the Pattern Registry

from allyanonimiser import PatternRegistry, CustomPatternDefinition

# Create a registry
registry = PatternRegistry()

# Register patterns
registry.register_pattern(CustomPatternDefinition(
    entity_type="BROKER_CODE",
    patterns=["BRK-[0-9]{4}"],
    context=["broker", "agent", "representative"],
    name="broker_code_recognizer"
))

# Share patterns across applications
registry.export_patterns("insurance_patterns.json")

# Later, in another application
registry.import_patterns("insurance_patterns.json")

Working with Australian Data

from allyanonimiser.patterns import get_au_pattern_definitions

# Get all Australian pattern definitions
au_patterns = get_au_pattern_definitions()

# Print information about each pattern
for pattern in au_patterns:
    print(f"Entity Type: {pattern['entity_type']}")
    print(f"Description: {pattern['description']}")
    print(f"Example Patterns: {pattern['patterns'][:2]}")
    print("Context Terms:", ", ".join(pattern['context'][:5]))
    print()

Generating Australian Test Data

from allyanonimiser.generators import AustralianSyntheticDataGenerator

# Create a data generator
generator = AustralianSyntheticDataGenerator()

# Generate a dataset of Australian insurance documents
generator.generate_dataset(
    num_documents=50,
    output_dir="au_insurance_dataset",
    include_annotations=True
)
