Description

Before releasing a public dataset, practitioners need to thread the needle between utility and protection of individuals. Felipe Hoffa and Damien Desfontaines explore how to handle massive public datasets, taking you from theory to real life as they showcase newly available tools that help with PII detection and brings concepts like k-anonymity and l-diversity to the practical realm. You’ll also cover options such as removing, masking, and coarsening.
