## Usage

### Quick Start

```python
from transformers import pipeline

# Load the PII detection pipeline
ner = pipeline("ner", model="OpenMed/OpenMed-PII-Arabic-QwenMed-XLarge-600M-v1", aggregation_strategy="simple")

text = """
المريض خالد العتيبي (تاريخ الميلاد: 15/03/1985، رقم الهوية: 9876543210) تم فحصه اليوم.
التواصل: khaled.otaibi@email.sa، الهاتف: +966 50 123 4567.
العنوان: شارع العليا 42، الرياض 11432.
"""

entities = ner(text)
for entity in entities:
    print(f"{entity['entity_group']}: {entity['word']} (score: {entity['score']:.3f})")
```

### De-identification Example

```python
def redact_pii(text, entities, placeholder='[REDACTED]'):
    """Replace detected PII with placeholders."""
    # Sort entities by start position (descending) to preserve offsets
    sorted_entities = sorted(entities, key=lambda x: x['start'], reverse=True)
    redacted = text
    for ent in sorted_entities:
        redacted = redacted[:ent['start']] + f"[{ent['entity_group']}]" + redacted[ent['end']:]
    return redacted

# Apply de-identification
redacted_text = redact_pii(text, entities)
print(redacted_text)
```

### Batch Processing

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForTokenClassification, AutoTokenizer
import torch

model_name = "OpenMed/OpenMed-PII-Arabic-QwenMed-XLarge-600M-v1"
model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained(model_name)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

texts = [
    "المريض خالد العتيبي (تاريخ الميلاد: 15/03/1985، رقم الهوية: 9876543210) تم فحصه اليوم.",
    "التواصل: khaled.otaibi@email.sa، الهاتف: +966 50 123 4567.",
]

inputs = tokenizer(texts, return_tensors='pt', padding=True, truncation=True)
with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(**inputs)
    predictions = torch.argmax(outputs.logits, dim=-1)
```

## Training Details

### Dataset

This model was trained on a combination of:

- **[AI4Privacy PII Masking 200K](https://huggingface.co/datasets/ai4privacy/pii-masking-200k)**: Multilingual base dataset (200K records across 8 languages)
- **[NVIDIA Nemotron-PII](https://huggingface.co/datasets/nvidia/Nemotron-PII)**: Seed dataset for synthetic data generation
- **Synthetic Arabic Data**: ~25K high-quality samples generated with locale-specific formatting (National ID format, +966 phones, Arabic names, SAR/ر.س currency)

- **Format**: BIO-tagged token classification
- **Labels**: 76 BIO tags (54 entity types)

### Training Configuration

- **Max Sequence Length**: 512 tokens
- **Framework**: Hugging Face Transformers + Trainer API

## Intended Use & Limitations

### Intended Use

- **De-identification**: Automated redaction of PII in Arabic clinical notes, medical records, and documents
- **Compliance**: Supporting GDPR, and other privacy regulation compliance
- **Data Preprocessing**: Preparing datasets for research by removing sensitive information
- **Audit Support**: Identifying PII in document collections

### Limitations

**Important**: This model is intended as an **assistive tool**, not a replacement for human review.

- **False Negatives**: Some PII may not be detected; always verify critical applications
- **Context Sensitivity**: Performance may vary with domain-specific terminology
- **Language**: Optimized for Arabic text; may not perform well on other languages
