Niloofar Mireshghallah, Maria Antoniak, Yash More, Yejin Choi, Golnoosh Farnadi

COLM 2024 · First arXiv submission

Studies the tasks and contexts in which people disclose personal or sensitive information to chatbots. It combines automated PII detection with task and sensitive-topic taxonomies, releasing annotations that support analyses beyond conventional identifiers.

Dataset and scope

A 5,000-conversation English sample from the one-million-conversation WildChat corpus, limited to one conversation per hashed IP with additional prefix and length filters.

Selected finding

In the analyzed sample, sensitive disclosures extend beyond the categories recognized by PII detectors, including preferences, personal habits, and application-related information.

Section 2 specifies sampling; Sections 3–4 compare detected identifiers with sensitive topics. The observations apply to this filtered sample. Read the source.
