Maya Chen lives at 14 Cedar Lane.
Ask about meaning.
private = decide(
doc, yesno("Contains personal information?")
)
match private["answer"]:
case "yes": block(doc)
case "no": publish(doc)
case None: review(doc)The same document. A semantic decision.
Does this document contain personal information?
The question and the document go to Sage while the program runs.
{
"answer": "yes",
"probability": 0.99
}The application blocks publication. An uncertain answer goes to a person.
