# Privacy Filter Nigeria LoRA
|
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
+
A LoRA adapter on top of [`openai/privacy-filter`](https://huggingface.co/openai/privacy-filter)
|
| 66 |
+
for Nigerian-domain PII span detection. This is a **v0.1 research preview**,
|
| 67 |
+
not a production privacy product.
|
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
+
- **Adapter repo:** `iamSamurai/privacy-filter-nigeria`
|
| 70 |
+
- **Base model:** `openai/privacy-filter`
|
| 71 |
+
- **Adapter type:** LoRA (PEFT) for token classification
|
| 72 |
+
- **Source repo:** https://github.com/iamNarcisse/naija-privacy-filter
|
| 73 |
+
- **Eval artifacts:** [`iamSamurai/openai-privacy-filter-naija-eval-artifacts`](https://huggingface.co/iamSamurai/openai-privacy-filter-naija-eval-artifacts)
|
| 74 |
+
- **License:** Apache-2.0 (this adapter). Use of the base model remains
|
| 75 |
+
subject to the upstream model's terms.
|
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
## Evaluation
|
| 78 |
|
| 79 |
+
Latest v5 eval against the internal stage2 v5 private mixed dataset, after
|
| 80 |
+
deterministic span postprocessing:
|
| 81 |
+
|
| 82 |
+
| Split | Typed span F1 | Precision | Recall | TP | FP | FN |
|
| 83 |
+
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
|
| 84 |
+
| Validation | 0.9763 | 0.9707 | 0.9820 | 762 | 23 | 14 |
|
| 85 |
+
| Test | 0.9640 | 0.9593 | 0.9688 | 777 | 33 | 25 |
|
| 86 |
+
|
| 87 |
+
The v5 challenge split is hard-negative-only. Typed F1 is not meaningful
|
| 88 |
+
because there are no gold positive spans. Use false-positive diagnostics:
|
| 89 |
+
|

+
| Challenge diagnostic | Value |
|
| 91 |
| --- | ---: |
|
| 92 |
+
| Examples | 250 |
|
| 93 |
+
| Examples with predictions | 180 |
|
| 94 |
+
| False-positive example rate | 0.72 |
|
| 95 |
+
| Predicted false-positive spans | 456 |
|
| 96 |
|
| 97 |
+
This is a recall-oriented research adapter. The hard-negative audit shows that
|
| 98 |
+
benign identifier-like text can be over-redacted. Precision-sensitive users
|
| 99 |
+
should add deterministic filters, tune thresholds where applicable, or
|
| 100 |
+
finetune on representative local negatives.
|
| 101 |
|
| 102 |
+
## How To Use
|
| 103 |
|
| 104 |
+
> **Note on the classifier head.** This adapter ships a resized token-
|
| 105 |
+
> classification head for the Nigerian-domain label taxonomy
|
| 106 |
+
> (`label_map.json` / `token_label_names` in `adapter_config.json`). Loading
|
| 107 |
+
> the adapter on top of the unmodified base model with vanilla
|
| 108 |
+
> `peft.PeftModel.from_pretrained` will not resize the head automatically.
|
| 109 |
+
> Use the project runner (`privacy_filter.py`) or replicate its head-resize
|
| 110 |
+
> logic to get correct predictions.
|
| 111 |
+
|
| 112 |
+
### Recommended: project runner
|
| 113 |
|
| 114 |
```bash
|
| 115 |
+
pip install "torch>=2.8" "transformers>=4.56" "peft>=0.17" "huggingface-hub>=0.34"
|
| 116 |
git clone https://github.com/iamNarcisse/naija-privacy-filter
|
| 117 |
cd naija-privacy-filter
|
| 118 |
|
| 119 |
+
python main.py \
|
| 120 |
+
--model-name openai/privacy-filter \
|
| 121 |
+
--adapter-name iamSamurai/privacy-filter-nigeria \
|
| 122 |
+
"Amina Yusuf can be reached at +234 802 111 3344."
|
| 123 |
+
```
|
| 124 |
+
|
| 125 |
+
Or via `uv`:
|
| 126 |
+
|
| 127 |
+
```bash
|
| 128 |
uv run python main.py \
|
| 129 |
--model-name openai/privacy-filter \
|
| 130 |
--adapter-name iamSamurai/privacy-filter-nigeria \
|
| 131 |
"Amina Yusuf can be reached at +234 802 111 3344."
|
| 132 |
```
|
| 133 |
|
| 134 |
+
### REST API
|
| 135 |
+
|
| 136 |
+
```bash
|
| 137 |
+
PRIVACY_FILTER_MODEL_NAME=openai/privacy-filter \
|
| 138 |
+
PRIVACY_FILTER_ADAPTER_NAME=iamSamurai/privacy-filter-nigeria \
|
| 139 |
+
uv run uvicorn api:app --reload
|
| 140 |
+
|
| 141 |
+
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/predict \
|
| 142 |
+
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
| 143 |
+
-d '{"text":"Amina Yusuf can be reached at +234 802 111 3344.","mode":"cleaned"}'
|
| 144 |
+
```
|
| 145 |
+
|
| 146 |
+
### Direct `transformers + peft` (advanced)
|
| 147 |
+
|
| 148 |
+
If you want to bypass the project runner, you must resize the base model's
|
| 149 |
+
classification head to match `token_label_names` from the adapter's
|
| 150 |
+
`adapter_config.json` before applying the LoRA weights. See
|
| 151 |
+
[`privacy_filter.py`](https://github.com/iamNarcisse/naija-privacy-filter/blob/main/privacy_filter.py)
|
| 152 |
+
for the reference implementation.
|
| 153 |
+
|
| 154 |
+
## Intended Use
|
| 155 |
+
|
| 156 |
+
Use this adapter for:
|
| 157 |
+
|
| 158 |
+
- Research and evaluation of Nigerian-domain PII detection.
|
| 159 |
+
- Prototyping local inference or REST API integration for privacy-filtering
|
| 160 |
+
workflows.
|
| 161 |
+
- Studying LoRA adaptation and deterministic span postprocessing for
|
| 162 |
+
token-classification models.
|
| 163 |
+
- Producing candidate spans for downstream review, redaction, or policy
|
| 164 |
+
engines.
|
| 165 |
+
|
| 166 |
+
Do **not** use this adapter as the only control for regulatory, legal,
|
| 167 |
+
medical, financial, or irreversible privacy decisions.
|
| 168 |
+
|
| 169 |
+
## Training Data
|
| 170 |
+
|
| 171 |
+
The source repository includes a tiny public synthetic example bundle,
|
| 172 |
+
`data/examples`:
|
| 173 |
+
|
| 174 |
+
| Split | Examples |
|
| 175 |
+
| --- | ---: |
|
| 176 |
+
| Train | 5 |
|
| 177 |
+
| Validation | 5 |
|
| 178 |
+
| Test | 5 |
|
| 179 |
+
| Challenge | 5 |
|
| 180 |
+
|
| 181 |
+
This example bundle is for schema inspection and smoke tests only. It is not a
|
| 182 |
+
training or evaluation release.
|
| 183 |
+
|
| 184 |
+
The current v5 adapter was trained and evaluated against a later private
|
| 185 |
+
stage2 v5 mixed dataset that is not distributed with this model card. That
|
| 186 |
+
private mix includes synthetic examples, OCR-derived Nigerian
|
| 187 |
+
identity-document samples used to test document-layout and OCR behavior, and
|
| 188 |
+
real-world domain samples. Direct identifiers and sensitive fields were
|
| 189 |
+
annotated and redacted from model-use fields. Source materials and derived
|
| 190 |
+
artifacts remain private and are not distributed.
|
| 191 |
+
|
| 192 |
+
Label space includes Nigerian-domain PII types such as `private_nin`,
|
| 193 |
+
`private_bvn`, `account_number`, `private_passport_number`,
|
| 194 |
+
`private_voters_card_number`, and `private_drivers_license_number`,
|
| 195 |
+
alongside generic PII labels: `private_person`, `private_email`,
|
| 196 |
+
`private_phone`, `private_address`, `private_date`, `private_url`, and
|
| 197 |
+
`secret`.
|
| 198 |
+
|
| 199 |
+
The committed public examples are **synthetic**. The private v5 mix is broader
|
| 200 |
+
and includes reviewed non-synthetic source material after direct identifiers
|
| 201 |
+
and sensitive fields were redacted from model-use fields. It is not a public
|
| 202 |
+
corpus of real user records.
|
| 203 |
+
|
| 204 |
+
## Bias, Risks, And Limitations
|
| 205 |
+
|
| 206 |
+
This adapter is built on `openai/privacy-filter` and inherits the upstream
|
| 207 |
+
model's bias, risk, and limitation profile. The notes below summarize and
|
| 208 |
+
extend that profile for the Naija research preview. Consult the upstream
|
| 209 |
+
model card for the authoritative description of base-model behavior.
|
| 210 |
+
|
| 211 |
+
### Over-Reliance
|
| 212 |
+
|
| 213 |
+
This adapter, like the base model, is a redaction and data-minimization aid.
|
| 214 |
+
It is not an anonymization, compliance, or safety guarantee. Treating its
|
| 215 |
+
output as a blanket anonymization claim risks missing the privacy objectives
|
| 216 |
+
the system is being deployed to support. Use it as one layer in a
|
| 217 |
+
privacy-by-design pipeline alongside policy controls, access controls,
|
| 218 |
+
logging discipline, and human review where mistakes have material impact.
|
| 219 |
+
The model detects spans; it does not by itself enforce retention, access
|
| 220 |
+
control, consent, or data-subject rights.
|
| 221 |
+
|
| 222 |
+
### Static Label Policy
|
| 223 |
+
|
| 224 |
+
The model only detects spans that match its trained label taxonomy.
|
| 225 |
+
Real-world privacy policies vary, and label boundaries appropriate for one
|
| 226 |
+
organization may not be appropriate for another. Adjusting the policy
|
| 227 |
+
requires further finetuning, not runtime configuration. The Naija adapter
|
| 228 |
+
shifts boundaries for Nigerian-domain identifiers (NIN, BVN, NUBAN account
|
| 229 |
+
numbers, voter card, driver license, passport, addresses, phone formats),
|
| 230 |
+
but does not introduce a runtime policy configuration mechanism.
|
| 231 |
+
|
| 232 |
+
### Domain And Language Coverage
|
| 233 |
+
|
| 234 |
+
Performance can drop on:
|
| 235 |
+
|
| 236 |
+
- non-English text and non-Latin scripts;
|
| 237 |
+
- naming patterns or identifier formats not represented in training data;
|
| 238 |
+
- domains outside the evaluated private mix, including unseen OCR layouts,
|
| 239 |
+
noisy chat logs, code-switched multilingual text, and organization-specific
|
| 240 |
+
record formats.
|
| 241 |
+
|
| 242 |
+
The private evaluation mix cannot fully represent every deployment
|
| 243 |
+
distribution. High typed-span F1 on the included splits should not be read as
|
| 244 |
+
evidence of production readiness on all real records.
|
| 245 |
+
|
| 246 |
+
### Failure Modes
|
| 247 |
+
|
| 248 |
+
Like all models, this adapter can make mistakes. Common failure modes
|
| 249 |
+
include:
|
| 250 |
+
|
| 251 |
+
- under-detection of uncommon personal names, regional naming conventions,
|
| 252 |
+
initials, or honorific-heavy references;
|
| 253 |
+
- over-redaction of organizations, locations, or common nouns when local
|
| 254 |
+
context is ambiguous;
|
| 255 |
+
- fragmented or shifted span boundaries in mixed-format text, long
|
| 256 |
+
documents, or text with heavy punctuation and layout artifacts;
|
| 257 |
+
- structured-identifier ambiguity - a numeric string may be a NIN, BVN,
|
| 258 |
+
account number, invoice number, order ID, or unrelated code, and the
|
| 259 |
+
model cannot always disambiguate without surrounding context;
|
| 260 |
+
- missed secrets for novel credential formats, project-specific token
|
| 261 |
+
patterns, or secrets split across surrounding syntax;
|
| 262 |
+
- over-redaction of benign high-entropy strings, hashes, placeholders, sample
|
| 263 |
+
credentials, synthetic examples, dates, checksums, and routing IDs that
|
| 264 |
+
resemble real secrets or identity numbers.
|
| 265 |
+
|
| 266 |
+
Deterministic span postprocessing (`span_postprocess.py` in the source repo)
|
| 267 |
+
reduces some boundary and known-format failures, but it is tuned for the
|
| 268 |
+
synthetic Naija release. Applied outside that distribution it may itself
|
| 269 |
+
introduce false positives.
|
| 270 |
+
|
| 271 |
+
These failure modes can interact with demographic, regional, and domain
|
| 272 |
+
variation. Names and identifiers underrepresented in the training data, or
|
| 273 |
+
that follow conventions different from the dominant training distribution,
|
| 274 |
+
are more likely to be missed or inconsistently bounded.
|
| 275 |
+
|
| 276 |
+
### High-Risk Deployment Caution
|
| 277 |
+
|
| 278 |
+
Additional caution is warranted in medical, legal, financial, human
|
| 279 |
+
resources, education, and government workflows. In these settings, both
|
| 280 |
+
false negatives and false positives can be costly: missed spans may expose
|
| 281 |
+
sensitive information, while excess masking can remove material context
|
| 282 |
+
needed for review, auditing, or downstream decisions. Do not use this adapter
|
| 283 |
+
as the only control in such workflows.
|
| 284 |
+
|
| 285 |
+
### Recommendations
|
| 286 |
+
|
| 287 |
+
- Use the model as part of a privacy-by-design pipeline, not as a standalone
|
| 288 |
+
anonymization claim.
|
| 289 |
+
- Evaluate on representative in-domain data under local policy before
|
| 290 |
+
production use.
|
| 291 |
+
- Add deterministic filters for high-precision structured IDs where local
|
| 292 |
+
policy allows it.
|
| 293 |
+
- Finetune further when your policy boundaries differ from the trained
|
| 294 |
+
taxonomy or when hard-negative precision matters.
|
| 295 |
+
- Preserve human review paths for high-sensitivity workflows.
|
| 296 |
+
|
| 297 |
+
## Privacy And Safety
|
| 298 |
+
|
| 299 |
+
The public example bundle is synthetic and should not intentionally contain
|
| 300 |
+
real personal data. Before publishing any new dataset, predictions, logs, or
|
| 301 |
+
eval artifacts derived from this adapter, inspect them for accidental real PII
|
| 302 |
+
or secrets.
|
| 303 |
+
|
| 304 |
+
Do not publish:
|
| 305 |
+
|
| 306 |
+
- raw real records;
|
| 307 |
+
- production prompts, logs, tickets, emails, or support transcripts
|
| 308 |
+
containing personal data;
|
| 309 |
+
- API keys, access tokens, cookies, or credentials;
|
| 310 |
+
- model outputs that include unredacted real PII from private systems;
|
| 311 |
+
- raw private/internal prediction JSONL or configs containing absolute paths,
|
| 312 |
+
private dataset IDs, or temporary directory names.
