DATA PROCESSING SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ANONYMIZING DATA SAMPLES IN CLASSIFICATION ANALYSIS

In general, various aspects of the present invention provide methods, apparatuses, systems, computing devices, computing entities, and/or the like for mapping the existence of target data within computing systems in a manner that does not expose the target data to potential data-related incidents. In accordance with various aspects, a method is provided that comprises: receiving a source dataset that comprises a label assigned to a data element used by a data source in handling target data that identifies a type of target data and data samples gathered for the data element; determining, based on the label, that the data samples are to be anonymized; generating supplemental anonymizing data samples associated with the label that comprise fictitious occurrences of the type of the target data; generating a review dataset comprising the supplemental anonymizing data samples intermingled with the data samples; and sending the review dataset to a review computing system.
