Extract location of crash from the article text automatically #13

Open digitaldutch opened 2 months ago

Currently, the location of a crash is determined by the human reading the media article text, finding a street or corner and municipality. Then enter that it into the map search area and putting a marker on the map. That marker is saved as coordinates into the database.

It would be nice if these steps could be automated by using a language model to extract it automatically.

1) Find street and municipality from the article text 2) Convert street and municipality to coordinates
