Pretrained text classifier

Identify if social security number is in a message with one API call.

A pretrained if social security number is in a message classifier that sorts text into one of 2 categories. Use the if social security number is in a message API immediately, no training required, then adapt it to your own data when you need more.

What this if social security number is in a message classifier recognizes

A sample of the 2 labels this pretrained classifier chooses between.

Contains Social Security Number
Does Not Contain Social Security Number

Need a label that isn't here? Clone the classifier into your Nyckel console and edit the label set to fit your data.

Call the if social security number is in a message API

Once you've added this classifier to your console, you get your own copy of it behind your own endpoint. Invoke it with any HTTP client:

curl

curl -X POST "https://www.nyckel.com/v1/functions/YOUR_FUNCTION_ID/invoke" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NYCKEL_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"data": "The text you want to classify"}'

Python

import requests

# Get an access token: https://www.nyckel.com/docs/api/overview/authentication/
token = "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"

response = requests.post(
    "https://www.nyckel.com/v1/functions/YOUR_FUNCTION_ID/invoke",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer " + token},
    json={"data": "The text you want to classify"},
)
print(response.json())

Example response

{
  "labelName": "Contains Social Security Number",
  "labelId": "label_...",
  "confidence": 0.92
}

Under the hood

Model type
Nyckel-trained

Trained on a Nyckel-curated dataset covering 2 if social security number is in a message categories, served on Nyckel's own infrastructure — your text snippet stays on Nyckel.

Input
Text

Send raw text to the invoke endpoint; the response is a label with a confidence score.

Make it yours
Adaptable

Clone it, then correct predictions and add your own samples in the console — Nyckel retrains automatically, turning this into a custom model tuned to your data.

More than a demo: this page is one of thousands of pretrained functions on Nyckel, an ML classification platform. You can invoke classifiers by API, review predictions, correct labels, collect samples from production traffic, and promote any pretrained function to a private custom model — without changing your integration.

Where teams use if social security number is in a message classification

Fraud Detection

Financial institutions can use the text classification function to monitor communications and transactions for unauthorized use of social security numbers. By identifying messages that contain these sensitive identifiers, banks can flag suspicious activities and prevent potential fraud.

Data Privacy Compliance

Organizations can implement this function to ensure compliance with data privacy regulations, such as GDPR and HIPAA. By screening correspondence for social security numbers, companies can take proactive steps to protect customer information and avoid costly penalties.

Fraudulent Application Screening

During the application process for loans or services, businesses can utilize the identifier to check for the presence of social security numbers in submitted documents and communications. This helps to detect identity theft early and ensure that only legitimate applications are processed.

Customer Service Automation

Automated customer service bots can be programmed to identify messages containing social security numbers to handle sensitive requests appropriately. This ensures that certain queries are escalated to human agents, maintaining a higher standard of privacy and security.

Internal Policy Enforcement

Companies can use this text classification to enforce internal policies related to the sharing of sensitive information. By scanning internal communication for social security numbers, organizations can educate their employees on data handling best practices and mitigate risks.

Incident Response Process

Cybersecurity teams can deploy this function as part of an incident response strategy to identify breaches involving social security numbers. Quick identification aids in rapid response efforts, helping organizations to contain data leaks and notify affected individuals.

Third-party Vendor Management

Businesses can use the identifier to assess communications with third-party vendors that may inadvertently expose sensitive information. By monitoring these exchanges for social security numbers, companies can better manage vendor compliance and protect their data integrity.

Common questions

What's the difference between a zero-shot and a Nyckel-trained classifier?

A zero-shot classifier uses a large foundation model's general knowledge to pick between your labels — no task-specific training, so new or edited labels work immediately. A Nyckel-trained classifier has been trained on labeled examples and runs on Nyckel's own infrastructure, which typically makes it faster, cheaper per call, and more accurate on data that resembles its training set. The "Under the hood" section on this page shows which kind this classifier is, and any classifier can be adapted into a trained one by adding your own examples.

How do I know whether this will work for my application?

Honestly: we can't know in advance — it depends on your data stream and how closely it resembles what this classifier has seen. The reliable way to find out is to measure it on your own data: start invoking the classifier with real traffic, or upload and annotate a set of text samples in the console — make sure they look like your production data, not idealized examples. Nyckel's evaluation metrics then show you exactly how it performs on that data before you rely on it.

What happens when it makes a mistake?

No classifier is perfect, so Nyckel is built around the correction loop: invokes can be captured for review, you confirm or correct predictions in the console, and corrections become training data. Over time the model adapts to your data distribution — accuracy on your traffic improves with use rather than staying fixed.

Do I need training data to get started?

No. This if social security number is in a message classifier works out of the box — clone it into your console and you'll have your own API endpoint in under a minute. Training data only enters the picture when you want to adapt it: your corrected predictions and uploaded samples improve the model, and you can also edit the label set to match your needs.

What does it cost to try?

Trying the classifier on this page is free with no signup. Cloning it requires a free account, and the free tier covers your first API calls each month — see nyckel.com/pricing for current limits and paid tiers.

Ready to classify if social security number is in a message at scale?

Add this pretrained classifier to your Nyckel console — you'll get a live API endpoint in under a minute, and a path to a custom model when you need one.
