libpostal
A C library for parsing/normalizing street addresses around the world
A C library for parsing/normalizing street addresses around the world. Powered by statistical NLP and open geo data. 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. Addresses and the locations they represent are essential for any application dealing with maps (place search, transportation, on-demand/delivery services, check-ins, reviews). Yet even the simplest addresses are packed with local conventions, abbreviations and context, making them difficult to index/query effectively with traditional full-text search engines. This library helps convert the free-form addresses that humans use into clean normalized forms suitable for machine comparison and full-text indexing. Though libpostal is not itself a full geocoder, it can be used as a preprocessing step to make any geocoding application smarter, and simpler. -

There are many contents and additions, including the switch from TensorFlow to PyTorch, new chapters on graph neural networks and transformers, a new section on gradient boosting, and many more that I will detail in a separate blog post. For those who are interested in knowing what this book covers in general, I’d describe it as a comprehensive resource on the fundamental concepts of machine learning and deep learning. The first half of the book introduces readers to machine learning using scikit-learn, the defacto approach for working with tabular datasets. Then, the second half of this book focuses on deep learning, including applications to natural language processing and computer vision. -

Docspell
Assist in organizing your piles of documents
Docspell is a personal document organizer. Or sometimes called a "Document Management System" (DMS). You'll need a scanner to convert your papers into files. Docspell can then assist in organizing the resulting mess. It can unify your files from scanners, emails, and other sources. It is targeted for home use, i.e. families, households, and also for smaller groups/companies. You can associate tags, set correspondent,s and lots of other predefined and custom metadata. If your documents are associated with such metadata, you can quickly find them later using the search feature. However adding this manually is a tedious task. Docspell can help by suggesting correspondents, guessing tags or finding dates using machine learning. It can learn metadata from existing documents and find things using NLP. This makes adding metadata to your documents a lot easier. For machine learning, it relies on the free (GPL) Stanford Core NLP library. -

How Users Can Get Started With Open Source Natural Language Processing (NLP) Tools
Getting started with using open source Natural Language Processing (NLP) projects is easier than ever now that there are a wide range of popular and powerful projects available.
The first step in getting up to speed on open source NLP tools is to familiarize yourself with the most popular frameworks, libraries, and packages available. There are dozens of options out there, including spaCy, NLTK, OpenNLP, NLU-Evaluation Framework (NEF), Stanford CoreNLP, Gensim, AllenNLP, and HuggingFace Transformers. Different projects focus on different tasks (e.g., tokenization), so you should consider which project is best suited for your particular needs. Once you’ve chosen a project or framework that fits your requirements best it's time to get started.
Fortunately tutorials for many of these packages are commonly updated as new versions come out or bugs have been fixed. A great place to start if you're new to using open source NLP tools is training courses such as Natural Language Processing with Python from Coursera or Udacity's Intro to Natural Language Processing course. These courses will help you understand the basics of NLP concepts and algorithms as well as provide an overview of the various tools and packages available for use in developing solutions for natural language processing tasks.
Once you've completed any necessary training online or elsewhere it's time to dig deeper into each package and library that interests you most. Each project often has its own official website containing extensive documentation explaining not only how set up the software but also how certain features work exactly under different settings etc.. Github repos can often provide more insights into an algorithm’s capabilities by providing examples written by users who may have already solved a problem similar to yours before. Lastly don't forget about local user groups where passionate people eager to help newcomers meet in person share their experiences while demystifying some technical hurdles along the way.
