Yes, and here is one number. A model trained on these datasets recognises personal data at 0.92 F1 on a held-out test set; the same architecture off the shelf manages 0.30. Same test, same scoring. The training data is the difference.
| Model | F1 |
|---|---|
| Trained on Ai4Privacy datasets | 0.92 |
| Same model, off the shelf | 0.30 |
