Definition

Anonymization involves modifying data so that it can no longer be associated with a specific individual without additional information. This technique is critical in machine learning when handling sensitive personal data, ensuring compliance with regulations like GDPR. Methods include generalization, suppression, and noise addition. While it enhances privacy, effective anonymization must balance utility with risk, as re-identification attacks can sometimes reverse the process if not properly implemented.
