arXiv:2606.18372v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Educational dialogue is a valuable but sensitive resource for research: the same transcripts that capture authentic learning often capture personally identifiable information (PII) entangled with curricular content, where "Riemann" may refer to a real student or to a mathematical concept. Existing approaches force a tradeoff between governance and accuracy. Commercial Large Language Models (LLMs) can handle this ambiguity but require sending student data to third parties, while local named entity recognition (NER) systems preserve governance bu
The proliferation of educational AI tools and growing concerns over data privacy for student information make local de-identification solutions critical for ethical AI adoption.
This development allows the use of powerful AI for educational research and improvement without compromising student data privacy, fostering trust and wider adoption of AI in sensitive domains.
Educational institutions can now leverage advanced AI capabilities for data analysis and content generation without relying on third-party cloud-based LLMs for sensitive student information, thus enhancing data governance.
