Alternative Units

[jasonvarga]

Hi, you guys have created an awesome tool here.

I was wondering if its possible to recognize (or 'teach' it to recognize) alternative units.

For example:

• 2 ounces milk returns qty: 2, unit: ounce, name: milk
• But 2 oz milk returns qty: 2, name: oz milk

It doesn't have any idea that oz is the same as ounce.

Thanks!

I think you can disregard this. When I create the model using the full dataset instead of only a sample, it seems to get better about it.

It changes from qty: 2, name: oz milk to qty: 2, other: oz, name: milk.
It separates oz from milk now, but thinks it's other instead of unit. It's better.

I think it just needs more data to work with.
