用NLP解析隐私政策,让普通人也能看懂数据使用条款
Natural Language Processing of Privacy Policies: A Survey
- 系统梳理109篇论文,分析NLP在隐私政策中的应用方法
- 发现现有研究多集中分类标注,缺乏摘要生成等深层处理
- 适合关注隐私保护、AI可解释性与人机交互的研究者
自然语言处理(NLP)是人工智能的重要分支,在医疗、金融、媒体等领域已用于识别观点与滥用行为。隐私保护同样受益于NLP技术,助力提升用户可理解的隐私通知质量。本文通过系统分析109篇NLP与隐私政策交叉领域的论文,首先介绍隐私政策及其相关挑战;其次,总结NLP在隐私政策沟通中的应用现状与效果,识别可改进的方法,并揭示当前研究空白。分析表明,多数研究聚焦于隐私文本的标注与分类,但对摘要生成、上下文词嵌入、细粒度分类及领域适配模型等方向关注不足。未来研究可在语料构建、摘要向量表示、隐私声明类别识别等方面深入探索。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is an essential subset of artificial intelligence. It has become effective in several domains, such as healthcare, finance, and media, to identify perceptions, opinions, and misuse, among others. Privacy is no exception, and initiatives have been taken to address the challenges of usable privacy notifications to users with the help of NLP. To this aid, we conduct a literature review by analyzing 109 papers at the intersection of NLP and privacy policies. First, we provide a brief introduction to privacy policies and discuss various facets of associated problems, which necessitate the application of NLP to elevate the current state of privacy notices and disclosures to users. Subsequently, we a) provide an overview of the implementation and effectiveness of NLP approaches for better privacy policy communication; b) identify the methodologies that can be further enhanced to provide robust privacy policies; and c) identify the gaps in the current state-of-the-art research. Our systematic analysis reveals that several research papers focus on annotating and classifying privacy texts for analysis but need to adequately dwell on other aspects of NLP applications, such as summarization. More specifically, ample research opportunities exist in this domain, covering aspects such as corpus generation, summarization vectors, contextualized word embedding, identification of privacy-relevant statement categories, fine-grained classification, and domain-specific model tuning.
