Patent number: 12339988Abstract: The disclosed system and method provide an artificial intelligence (AI) model trained using clustering and reinforcement learning. Data in a dataset can be loaded for de-identification, along with data scope answers. The data can be audited, and once audited, the audited data and the data scope answers can be provided to a strategy recommendation engine including the trained AI model. The engine can determine a cluster corresponding to the dataset and assesses strategies for data de-identification based on the determined cluster. The strategies can be ranked and provided as output, providing the ability to better de-identify the dataset by indicating which techniques will be the most effective. Additionally, the system and method can automatically implement a top-ranked strategy satisfying certain criteria as a determined optimal approach for data de-identification. Clustering and reinforcement learning may efficiently and automatically glean information from unlabeled data.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2023Date of Patent: June 24, 2025Assignee: ACCENTURE GLOBAL SOLUTIONS LIMITEDInventors: Laura Wendy Hèléne Sylvie Angéle Degioanni, Richard Vidal, Laetitia Kameni, Nantomiaro Ramanjakanoro Ralibera

Patent number: 12326959Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide systems, methods, apparatus, and computer-readable storage media that support improved watermarking and fingerprinting of a shared dataset. To illustrate, clustering may be performed on the dataset using initial clustering parameters (e.g., a secret key) to assign each record (e.g., attribute) of the dataset to one of multiple clusters. The secret key may be selected by a user or determined automatically based on the clustering algorithm. After the clustering, the records of each cluster may be selected for embedding a portion of fingerprint data based on one or more security parameters (e.g., a hash function, priority values, even/or selection, etc.). The selected records (or portions thereof) may be replaced with corresponding portions of the fingerprint data to embed the fingerprint data within different records as watermarking. Aspects also include analyzing a dataset to verify whether watermarking is present and to extract a fingerprint.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2023Date of Patent: June 10, 2025Assignee: Accenture Global Solutions LimitedInventors: Baya Dhouib, Laetitia Kameni, Richard Vidal

Patent number: 12099631Abstract: Embodiments herein facilitate a rule-based anonymization of an original dataset. The system may include a processor including a data privacy evaluator and a rules engine. The data privacy evaluator may receive at least one anonymized dataset corresponding to a predefined strategy of anonymization. The at least one anonymized dataset may include a variation from the original dataset by at least one of a privacy metric and a consistency metric. The data privacy evaluator may evaluate the at least one anonymized dataset and may generate a final output value based on a first output and a second output. The processor may assess the final output value with respect to a predefined threshold through the rules engine. If the final output value may be equal or higher than the predefined threshold, the system may permit an access to the anonymized dataset.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2021Date of Patent: September 24, 2024Assignee: ACCENTURE GLOBAL SOLUTIONS LIMITEDInventors: Laura Wendy Hélène Sylvie Angèle Degioanni, Richard Vidal, Laetitia Kameni, Yann Fraboni
