Subject-level Inference for Realistic Text Anonymization Evaluation

arXiv:2604.21211v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Current text anonymization evaluation relies on span-based metrics that fail to capture what an adversary could actually infer, and assumes a single data subject, ignoring multi-subject scenarios. To address these limitations, we present SPIA (Subject-level PII Inference Assessment), the first benchmark that shifts the unit of evaluation from text spans to individuals, comprising 675 documents across legal and online domains with novel subject-level protection metrics. Extensive experiments show that even when over 90% of PII spans are masked
