SyferText
SyferText is a library for privacy preserving Natural Language Processing in Python. It leverages PySyft to perform Federated Learning and Encrypted Computations ( Multi-Party Computation (MPC) on text data. The two main usage scenarios of SyferText are:
🔥 Secure plaintext pre-processing: Enables pre-processing of text located on a remote machine without breaking data privacy.🚀 Secure pipeline deploy: Starting from version 0.1.0, SyferText will be able to bundle a complete pipeline composed of pre-processing components and trained PySyft models and to securely deploy it to PyGrid.
