Rampart: An On-Device ONNX Model for PII Detection and Client-Side Redaction
Summary
Rampart is a 14.7 MB ONNX token-classification model for on-device detection of personally identifiable information (PII) in text, released by National Design Studio. It serves as the client-side component of a defense-in-depth redaction system, running alongside a deterministic recognizer layer for structured identifiers. The model card documents only the released ONNX artifact, noting that alternative configurations (ELECTRA-small base, prefilter-off training variant, leaner data) were explored during model selection.
