01 / Customer Challenge

The challenge our customer brought us.

Deidentification algorithms (DEID) are susceptible to the same bias and privacy issues that impact other data analytics and machine learning applications. NIST is attempting to create a system that enables the evaluation and risk assessment of DEIDs.

02 / Knexus Approach

What we designed and delivered.

Research DEID vulnerabilities and bias to better understand how to mitigate them.

Create a benchmarking effort hosted by NIST to compare deidentification methods.
Develop a comprehensive open-source evaluation suite for diagnosing failure points of generative AI and other deidentification techniques on tabular data, with focus on artifacts and bias issues that arise for diverse populations.
Compare the performance of differential privacy with traditional privacy techniques on both privacy and utility.
03 / Mission Impact

The difference it made.

450+
synthetic data samples shared publicly
This effort has collected, evaluated, and publicly shared over 450 synthetic data samples from academia, industry, and government organizations across the world.
