US Patent 11494515 Data processing systems and methods for anonymizing data samples in classification analysis

In general, various aspects of the present invention provide methods, apparatuses, systems, computing devices, computing entities, and/or the like for mapping the existence of target data within computing systems in a manner that does not expose the target data to potential data-related incidents. In accordance with various aspects, a method is provided that comprises: receiving a source dataset that comprises a label assigned to a data element used by a data source in handling target data that identifies a type of target data and data samples gathered for the data element; determining, based on the label, that the data samples are to be anonymized; generating supplemental anonymizing data samples associated with the label that comprise fictitious occurrences of the type of the target data; generating a review dataset comprising the supplemental anonymizing data samples intermingled with the data samples; and sending the review dataset to a review computing system.
