Bug#884731: ITP: libpostal -- parse and normalise street addresses around the world
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Andrew Shadura* Package name: libpostal Version : 1.0.0 Upstream Author : openvenues, Mapzen * URL : https://github.com/openvenues/libpostal * License : MIT Programming Lang: C Description : parse and normalise street addresses around the world libpostal is a C library for parsing/normalizing street addresses around the world using statistical NLP and open data. The goal of this project is to understand location-based strings in every language, everywhere. libpostal's international address parser uses machine learning (Conditional Random Fields) and is trained on over 1 billion addresses in every inhabited country on Earth. It uses use OpenStreetMap and OpenAddresses as sources of structured addresses, and the OpenCage address format templates to construct the training data, supplementing with containing polygons, and generating sub-building components like apartment/floor numbers and PO boxes. -- Cheers, Andrew
