+# ZentryPII-278M – A LexGuard Model
 
+ZentryPII-278M is a multilingual token classification model fine-tuned to identify and redact personally identifiable information (PII) — such as names, locations, and time expressions — from noisy, ASR-style transcripts in English and Hindi. Built on top of XLM-RoBERTa-base, it is designed to serve as the redaction engine for LexGuard’s privacy-preserving speech-to-text workflows.

 ## Uses
 
-<!-- Address questions around how the model is intended to be used, including the foreseeable users of the model and those affected by the model. -->
-
 ### Direct Use
 
-<!-- This section is for the model use without fine-tuning or plugging into a larger ecosystem/app. -->
-
-[More Information Needed]
-
-### Downstream Use [optional]
+ZentryPII-278M is intended for direct use in redacting PII from ASR transcripts across multilingual, informal, or code-switched contexts. Users can apply it to:
+- Transcribed audio from customer support calls
+- Patient interviews and medical notes
+- Legal and financial voice dictations
+- Internal company meetings
 
-<!-- This section is for the model use when fine-tuned for a task, or when plugged into a larger ecosystem/app -->
-
-[More Information Needed]
+It can be used via Hugging Face pipelines or as part of a preprocessing module in privacy-sensitive workflows.
 
 ### Out-of-Scope Use
 
-<!-- This section addresses misuse, malicious use, and uses that the model will not work well for. -->
+This model is not intended for:
+- Document-level NER on structured or formal text (e.g. PDFs, contracts)
+- Coreference resolution or full conversational entity linking
+- Real-time inference in low-resource, on-device settings without optimization
+- Use in adversarial or surveillance applications that violate user privacy
 
-[More Information Needed]

 ## Bias, Risks, and Limitations
 
-<!-- This section is meant to convey both technical and sociotechnical limitations. -->
+- **Cultural and spelling bias:** Model was trained on synthetic English-Hindi examples and may underperform on other dialects or spelling variations.
+- **Disfluency confusion:** In very noisy ASR outputs, model may struggle to distinguish PII from filler or background phrases.
+- **False positives/negatives:** Names that are also common nouns (e.g. "Rose", "Paris") may be missed or over-flagged.
+- **No anonymization guarantees:** While helpful, the model does not provide cryptographic or legal guarantees for PII anonymization.
+
+Always verify redacted output before deployment in sensitive or regulated environments.
 
-[More Information Needed]
 
 ### Recommendations
 
-<!-- This section is meant to convey recommendations with respect to the bias, risk, and technical limitations. -->
+Users should be aware that ZentryPII-278M is optimized for ASR-style conversational input in English and Hindi. It should not be relied on as a sole mechanism for PII redaction in legally regulated environments. We recommend:
 
-Users (both direct and downstream) should be made aware of the risks, biases and limitations of the model. More information needed for further recommendations.
+- Reviewing model output manually in high-risk domains such as healthcare or law
+- Avoiding use in languages or dialects beyond those it was trained on
+- Augmenting the model with rule-based fallback mechanisms for edge cases
+- Retraining or fine-tuning on domain-specific data when applying to new use cases

 ## Training Details
 
 ### Training Data
 
-<!-- This should link to a Dataset Card, perhaps with a short stub of information on what the training data is all about as well as documentation related to data pre-processing or additional filtering. -->
+The training data for ZentryPII-278M consists of a synthetic dataset of ~1,000 conversational, ASR-style utterances constructed using name, location, and time expression templates. These examples were generated to reflect realistic speech patterns, disfluencies (e.g., "um", "haan", "like"), and English-Hindi code-switching.
 
-[More Information Needed]
+Each sentence was tokenized and annotated with BIO-style labels:
+- `B-NAME`: Names (e.g., Ramesh, Neha)
+- `B-LOC`: Locations (e.g., Mumbai, Connaught Place)
+- `B-TIME`: Time references (e.g., three thirty, Sunday morning)
+- `O`: Non-PII tokens
 
-### Training Procedure
+The dataset is not publicly released as a standalone resource, but was generated specifically to fine-tune ZentryPII on redaction-style PII tagging in noisy, multilingual text.

+ZentryPII-278M demonstrates excellent performance on synthetic ASR-style transcripts, achieving near-zero loss over a multilingual, code-switched BIO-tagged benchmark. Its architecture (XLM-RoBERTa) allows for robust generalization across English and Hindi tokens with informal structure. While tested only on synthetic data, it sets the foundation for more rigorous real-world deployment within LexGuard’s privacy-preserving stack.
 
-## Technical Specifications [optional]
 
 ### Model Architecture and Objective
 
-[More Information Needed]
+ZentryPII-278M is based on the `xlm-roberta-base` transformer architecture — a multilingual masked language model pretrained on 100+ languages. It has been adapted for the **token classification** objective using a linear classifier head on top of the contextual embeddings. The model is fine-tuned using a BIO tagging scheme to detect and label PII entities such as names, locations, and temporal references.
