Abstract
Confidential documents detection is a key activity in data leakage prevention methods. Once the document is marked as confidential, then it is possible to prevent data leakage from that document. Confidential terms are significant terms, which indicate confidential content in the document. This paper presents confidential terms detection method using language model with Dirichlet prior smoothing technique. Clusters are generated for training dataset documents (confidential and nonconfidential documents). Language model is created separately for confidential and nonconfidential documents. Expand nonconfidential language model in a cluster using similar clusters, which helps to identify the confidential content in the nonconfidential documents. Smoothing assigns a nonzero probability value to unseen words and improves accuracy of the language model.
