Too Long; Didn't Read
A while back I wrote <a href="https://medium.com/@albarrentine/statistical-nlp-on-openstreetmap-b9d573e6cc86">a piece</a> publicly introducing <a href="https://github.com/openvenues/libpostal">libpostal</a>, an open-source, open-data-trained C library and companion NLP model for parsing and normalizing international street addresses. Since then, libpostal’s user base has grown to include governments, startups, large companies, researchers, and data journalists from over a dozen countries around the world.
