The advent of AI has seen an increased demand for data for AI development, leading to a proliferation of data sharing and distribution. However, there is also the risk of personal information disclosure during data utilization and therefore, it is necessary to undergo a process of de-identification before distributing the data. Privacy-Preserving Data Publishing (PPDP) is a series of procedures aimed at adhering to specified privacy guidelines while maximizing the utility of data. It has been continuously researched and developed. Since the early 2000s, techniques for de-identifying structured data (e.g., tables or relational data) were studied. As a significant portion of the collected data is now unstructured data and its proportion is increasing, research on de-identification techniques for unstructured data is also actively being conducted. In this paper, we aim to introduce the existing de-identification techniques for structured data and discuss recent trends in de-identification techniques for unstructured data.
