What this lens detects
- PERSON: people’s names as they appear in financial text.
This is a name-only lens. Card numbers (PAN), IBANs, SWIFT codes, and routing and account numbers are detected by Phileas’s pattern-based (regex and validation) layer, not by this model. Compose this lens with that layer for full coverage.
Why this lens
Financial documents are dense with long alphanumeric identifiers and institution names that a general model can mistake for people’s names. This lens is tuned for name precision amid those distractors; Phileas detects and validates the identifiers themselves.
When to use this
- Account statements, applications, and transaction records.
- Payment-system pipelines and broker-dealer communications.
- KYC and onboarding files.
Known limitations
- Names only. This lens detects PERSON. Other PII is handled by Phileas’s pattern-based detection; compose accordingly.
- English only. Names only; financial identifiers are detected by Phileas, not this model.
