  • Patent number: 11270023
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for assessing anonymity of a dataset is provided. The present invention may include receiving an original dataset and an anonymized dataset. The present invention may also include preparing a testing dataset and a training dataset for a machine learning algorithm based on the received original dataset and anonymized dataset. The present invention may then include training a machine learning model based on the prepared training dataset. The present invention may further include generating an evaluation score based on the trained machine learning model and the prepared testing dataset. The present invention may also include presenting the generated evaluation score to a user.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10901979
    Abstract: In an example computer-implemented method, a dataset and a query including an expression to be matched to the dataset is received via a processor. A false positive rate (FPR) and a false negative rate (FNR) is calculated via the processor for each possible value assignment of a plurality of possible value assignments in response to detecting a missing value in the dataset. A value assignment is selected, via the processor, from the plurality of possible value assignments based on the FPR and the FNR. A response to the query is generated via the processor based on the selected value assignment.
