# MultiPII-X

## Description

**MultiPII-X** is an extensible fine-grained dataset for personally identifiable information (PII), sensitive-entity recognition, and text anonymization.

Version **1.0** contains Slovene (`sl`) data collected and adapted from multiple source corpora and domains under one unified annotation scheme.

The release contains:

- **15,180** text records
- **89,812** entity annotations
- **56** fine-grained entity types
- **8** normalized source collections
- general, news, telecom, legal, medical, healthcare, finance, and banking domains

The dataset is intended for training and research on fine-grained PII detection, anonymization, and named entity recognition.

MultiPII-X does **not** prescribe an official train/validation/test partition. The complete release is exposed as one `train` split so users can construct splits appropriate to their experiments.

## Dataset representations

MultiPII-X provides three configurations.

### `canonical`

The canonical representation is the authoritative version of the dataset.

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset(
    "Nan0NJ/MultiPII-X",
    "canonical",
    split="train",
)
```

Each record contains:

- `text` — original text
- `tagged` — text with annotated spans replaced by `[ENTITY_TYPE]`
- `source` — normalized provenance/source identifier
- `domain` — text domain
- `language` — ISO language code (`sl`)
- `entities` — character-level entity annotations
- `gliner_tokenized_text` — derived word tokens for classic GLiNER
- `gliner_entities` — derived token-level entities where exact representation is possible

Each canonical entity contains:

```json
{
  "start": 0,
  "end": 5,
  "text": "Janez",
  "entity_type": "NAME_GIVEN",
  "entity_group": "PERSON"
}
```

Character offsets are zero-based and use an exclusive end offset:

```python
text[start:end] == entity["text"]
```

The `entities` field is the source of truth for annotation boundaries.

### `gliner`

A convenience representation for classic [GLiNER](https://github.com/urchade/GLiNER).

```python
dataset = load_dataset(
    "Nan0NJ/MultiPII-X",
    "gliner",
    split="train",
)
```

The representation contains:

- `tokenized_text`
- `ner`

Entity spans use zero-based token indices with an inclusive end index.

The classic GLiNER export contains **14,631** complete examples. The remaining **549** canonical rows contain character-level entity boundaries that cannot be represented exactly by the classic word-token representation without modifying the annotation. They remain available in `canonical` and `gliner25`.

The native JSONL representation is also provided in:

```text
gliner/gliner_train.jsonl
```

### `gliner25`

A convenience representation for [GLiNER2 / GLiNER2.5](https://github.com/fastino-ai/GLiNER2).

```python
dataset = load_dataset(
    "Nan0NJ/MultiPII-X",
    "gliner25",
    split="train",
)
```

All **15,180** records are available in this representation.

The native JSONL representation is also provided in:

```text
gliner25/gliner25_train.jsonl
```

## Dataset sources

MultiPII-X is a derived and reannotated resource. The original source datasets remain separate works and should be cited according to their respective terms.

The normalized `source` field contains the following values:

- `tanaos` — **7,612** records
- `gigafida` — **2,125** records
- `eeisenzopf` — **1,494** records
- `kurkowski` — **1,026** records
- `COLESLAW` — **1,000** records
- `PoVeJMo-VeMo-Med` — **1,000** records
- `telekom_synthetic` — **500** records
- `e3-jsi` — **423** records

### Upstream resources

- [Tanaos Text Anonymizer Training Dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/tanaos/synthetic-text-anonymizer-dataset-v1)
- [Contextual Text Anonymizer Dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/kurkowski/synthetic-contextual-anonymizer-dataset)
- [Corpus of Written Standard Slovene Gigafida 2.0](https://www.clarin.si/repository/xmlui/handle/11356/1320)
- [Telecom Conversation Corpus](https://huggingface.co/datasets/eisenzopf/telecom-conversation-corpus)

- [PoVeJMo-VeMo-Med 1.0](https://www.clarin.si/repository/xmlui/handle/11356/1983)
- [COLESLAW 1.0](https://www.clarin.si/repository/xmlui/handle/11356/2095)

`telekom_synthetic` is additional telecom-oriented synthetic material included in the MultiPII-X construction process rather than a separately published upstream dataset.

Full citation metadata for upstream resources is provided in `CITATION.cff`.

## Domains

The current Slovene release contains the following domains:

- `general` — 8,742 records
- `news` — 2,125 records
- `telecom` — 1,994 records
- `legal` — 1,065 records
- `medical` — 1,000 records
- `banking` — 94 records
- `finance` — 82 records
- `healthcare` — 78 records

The `e3-jsi` subset retains its original domain assignments.

## Entity types

MultiPII-X v1.0 defines **56 fine-grained entity types**.

The fine-grained `entity_type` is the model target. `entity_group` is additional metadata and should not replace the fine-grained label during training.

### PERSON

`NAME_GIVEN`, `NAME_FAMILY`, `NAME_ALIAS`

### TEMPORAL

`DATE_OF_BIRTH`, `DATE`, `AGE`, `PASSPORT_EXPIRATION`, `CREDIT_CARD_EXPIRATION`

Detailed label definitions are available in `label_registry.json`.

## Annotation conventions

MultiPII-X uses exact span annotations under a unified fine-grained ontology.

Important conventions include:

- **Full entity spans.** The complete intended entity is annotated.
- **Slovene suffix absorption.** Inflectional endings attached to protected entities are included in the entity span.
- **Honorific exclusion.** Titles such as `gospod`, `gospa`, `dr.`, and `prof.` remain outside personal-name annotations.
- **No clock-time tagging.** Clock times are not annotated as `DATE`.
- **Fine-grained secret labels.** Tax IDs, PINs, PUKs, CVVs, passwords, SIM codes, activation codes, verification codes, and authentication tokens use dedicated labels.
- **Fine-grained numeric labels.** Monetary amounts, measurements, and ratios use `CURRENCY_AMOUNT`, `MEASUREMENT`, and `RATIO`.

Raw source text is preserved in `text`. Character-level entities are authoritative.

## Construction

The source material was translated, adapted, sampled, reannotated, or otherwise transformed as appropriate for each upstream resource and normalized into the common MultiPII-X ontology.

The final release contains all **15,180** prepared records and all **89,812** final annotations.

The construction pipeline validated:

- entity labels against the frozen ontology
- ordered and non-overlapping character spans
- exact `text[start:end]` recovery
- deterministic reconstruction of `tagged`
- source, domain, and language normalization
- derived classic GLiNER token spans
- GLiNER2/2.5 representation compatibility

Rare labels and zero-entity records are intentionally retained.

The release contains **634** zero-entity records.

## Intended use

MultiPII-X is intended for:

- fine-grained PII and sensitive-entity recognition
- text anonymization and pseudonymization research
- NER model training and fine-tuning
- cross-domain PII detection
- evaluation of domain adaptation and label generalization
- GLiNER and GLiNER2/2.5 fine-tuning
- research on privacy-preserving NLP for Slovene

The canonical representation is model-agnostic and can be converted for architectures other than GLiNER.

## Limitations

- Version 1.0 contains Slovene only.
- Entity frequencies are intentionally imbalanced.
- Some fine-grained labels contain very few examples.
- Several source collections are synthetic or translated and should not be treated as representative samples of naturally occurring Slovene.
- Domains differ substantially in style, length, and annotation density.
- The model-specific exports inherit representation-specific limitations from their target model formats.
- MultiPII-X is a research resource and does not itself establish legal or regulatory compliance for deployed anonymization systems.
