Python tool that generates realistic synthetic text for a superset of I2B2 2014 personal health information entity types.
A poster was published in AMIA (https://knowledge.amia.org/73035-amia-1.4612663/t004-1.4613775/t004-1.4613776/3478476-1.4613879/3478476-1.4613880?qr=1)
and a paper is pending based on our first release
This tool takes annotated text from Brat (https://brat.nlplab.org) and replaces personal information with synthetic data. It will attempt to match the format of the text.
