# DeepSeek PHI De-identification Adapter

This repository hosts a LoRA adapter fine-tuned for safe detection and redaction of
Protected Health Information (PHI) in clinical text.

The model is trained on a large synthetic and de-identified corpus derived from
MIMIC-III-style clinical notes and is designed to operate as part of a configurable,
explainable medical text de-identification pipeline.
