Abstract
One or more systems and/or methods for filtering user profiles based upon sensitive topics are provided. A set of candidate topics labeled with sensitivity labels corresponding to whether candidate topics are sensitive topics or non-sensitive topics are generated. The sensitivity labels are applied to an unknown entity space of entities to label the entities with the sensitivity labels to create a set of labeled topics labeled as either the sensitive topics or the non-sensitive topics. The set of labeled topics and metadata for the set of labeled topics are stored within a central sensitivity data store. The set of labeled topics and metadata within the central sensitivity data store are used to filter sensitive topics from user profiles of users.
