Hi!
I was checking out libpostal, and saw something that could be improved.
My country is
GB
Here's how I'm using libpostal
We're parsing customer-provided addresses to be used by third parties
Here's what I did
We've provided the following address to libpostal: "38 meadow road, garforth, leeds, LS25 2EN"
Here's what I got
Here's what I was expecting
I expected "Garforth" to be correctly identified as a district, instead it's being identified as part of the road name
What's strange is that it does work for other similarly-formatted addresses, e.g.: 24 Slade Lane, Levenshulme, Manchester, M13 0QE
correctly identifies "Levenshulme" as a district in "Manchester".
For parsing issues, please answer "yes" or "no" to all that apply.
- Does the input address exist in OpenStreetMap?
Yes - Do all the toponyms exist in OSM (city, state, region names, etc.)?
Yes - If the address uses a rare/uncommon format, does changing the order of the fields yield the correct result?
N/A - If the address does not contain city, region, etc., does adding those fields to the input improve the result?
N/A - If the address contains apartment/floor/sub-building information or uncommon formatting, does removing that help? Is there any minimum form of the address that gets the right parse?
N/A
Here's what I think could be improved
