	abstract     = {Utmaningarna med etik och dataskydd är gemensamma för många vetenskaper. Inom projektet Mormor Karl undersöker vi frågor relaterade till automatiskt stöd för pseudonymisering av forskningsdata (på svenska) men även effekterna av pseudonymisering med tanke på materialets användbarhet för forskningoch påverkan på möjlig språkteknologisk användning som t.ex. automatisk bedömning. Vi hävdar att det behövs en diskussion inom just språkvetenskapen för att belysa de frågor som är centrala för vår disciplin. Språkvetare analyserar språk i relation till allt från regional och social variation, språkliga normer och normenlighet, maktutövning via språkliga medel, till språkinlärning och språkdidaktiska frågor. Är det möjligt att hitta en enda gemensam lösning för att förhindra identifiering? Hur detaljerat behöver vi beskriva hur vi behandlat våra data i fråga om anonymisering eller pseudonymisering för att veta vad som kan undersökas språkvetenskapligt i datan och således hur tillförlitliga resultaten i en studie är? Kan vi garantera att vi inte samtidigt riskerar att avslöja personerna som dolts? I vår presentation vill vi diskutera och illustrera varför pseudonymisering i allra högsta grad är en fråga som berör språkvetenskapen.},

sparv-sbx-pi-detection is a plugin for the text annotation pipeline SPARV, which enables personal information annotation at the same time as other kinds of annotation.

their data and how much of it would be manipulated if PI were to be removed or replaced.},

	abstract     = {In this paper we present a pilot study and a qualitative analysis of the errors made by three large language models (LLMs) prompted to identify personal information (PI) in texts written in languages with varying resource availability: Komi (extremely low), Polish (medium), and English (high). Our analysis shows that LLMs perform better in detection of PI when provided with JSON-eliciting prompts. We also conjecture that the rich morphology and inflectionality of languages like Komi and Polish might affect the models’ performance. The small-scale parallel dataset of text that we introduce here can be used as a starting point in developing benchmarks for evaluation of PI detection with longer textual contexts and LLMs. },

	title        = {The Devil’s in the Details: the Detailedness of Classes Influences Personal Information Detection and Labeling},
	abstract     = {In this paper, we experiment with the effect of different levels of detailedness or granularity—understood as i) the number of classes, and ii) the classes’ semantic depth in the sense of hypernym and hyponym relations — of the annotation of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) on automatic detection and labeling of such information. We fine-tune a Swedish BERT model on a corpus of Swedish learner essays annotated with a total of six PII tagsets at varying levels of granularity. We also investigate whether the presence of grammatical and lexical correction annotation in the tokens and class prevalence have an effect on predictions. We observe that the fewer total categories there are, the better the overall results are, but having a more diverse annotation facilitates fewer misclassifications for tokens containing  correction annotation. We also note that the classes’ internal diversity has an effect on labeling. We conclude from the results that while labeling based on the detailed annotation is difficult because of the number of classes, it is likely that models trained on such annotation rely more on the semantic content captured by contextual word embeddings rather than just the form of the tokens, making them more robust against nonstandard language.},
