OpenMed-PII-French-QwenMed-600M-v1

French PII Detection Model | 600M Parameters | Open Source

F1 Score Precision Recall

Model Description

OpenMed-PII-French-QwenMed-600M-v1 is a transformer-based token classification model fine-tuned for Personally Identifiable Information (PII) detection in French text. This model identifies and classifies 54 types of sensitive information including names, addresses, social security numbers, medical record numbers, and more.

Key Features

  • French-Optimized: Specifically trained on French text for optimal performance
  • High Accuracy: Achieves strong F1 scores across diverse PII categories
  • Comprehensive Coverage: Detects 55+ 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-French-QwenMed-600M-v1", aggregation_strategy="simple")

text = """
Patient Jean Martin (né le 15/03/1985, NSS: 1 85 03 75 108 234 67) a été vu aujourd'hui.
Contact: jean.martin@email.fr, Téléphone: 06 12 34 56 78.
Adresse: 123 Avenue des Champs-Élysées, 75008 Paris.
"""

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-French-QwenMed-600M-v1"
model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained(model_name)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

texts = [
    "Patient Jean Martin (né le 15/03/1985, NSS: 1 85 03 75 108 234 67) a été vu aujourd'hui.",
    "Contact: jean.martin@email.fr, Téléphone: 06 12 34 56 78.",
]

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

Dataset

  • Source: AI4Privacy PII Masking 400k (French subset)
  • Format: BIO-tagged token classification
  • Labels: 109 total (54 entity types × 2 BIO tags + O)

Training Configuration

  • Max Sequence Length: 512 tokens
  • Epochs: 3
  • Framework: Hugging Face Transformers + Trainer API

Intended Use & Limitations

Intended Use

  • De-identification: Automated redaction of PII in French clinical notes, medical records, and documents
  • Compliance: Supporting GDPR, and other privacy regulation compliance
  • Data Preprocessing: Preparing datasets for research by removing sensitive information
  • Audit Support: Identifying PII in document collections

Limitations

Important: This model is intended as an assistive tool, not a replacement for human review.

  • False Negatives: Some PII may not be detected; always verify critical applications
  • Context Sensitivity: Performance may vary with domain-specific terminology
  • Language: Optimized for French text; may not perform well on other languages
