Here is deepparse.

Deepparse is a state-of-the-art library for parsing multinational street addresses using deep learning.

Use deepparse to

  • Use the pre-trained models to parse multinational addresses,
  • retrain our pre-trained models on new data to parse multinational addresses,
  • retrain our pre-trained models with your own prediction tags easily.

Read the documentation at deepparse.org.

Deepparse is compatible with the latest version of PyTorch and Python >= 3.7.

Countries and Results

We evaluate our models on two forms of address data

  • clean data which refers to addresses containing elements from four categories, namely a street name, a
    municipality, a province and a postal code,
  • incomplete data which is made up of addresses missing at least one category amongst the aforementioned ones.

You can get our dataset here.

Clean Data

The following table presents the accuracy (using clean data) on the 20 countries we used during training for both our
models.

Norway 99.06 98.3 Austria 99.21 97.82
Italy 99.65 98.93 Mexico 99.49 98.9
United Kingdom 99.58 97.62 Switzerland 98.9 98.38

We have also made a zero-shot evaluation of our models using clean data from 41 other countries; the results are shown
in the next table.

Incomplete Data

The following table presents the accuracy on the 20 countries we used during training for both our models but for
incomplete data. We didn't test on the other 41 countries since we did not train on them and therefore do not expect
to achieve an interesting performance.

Country Fasttext (%) BPEmb (%) Country Fasttext (%) BPEmb (%)
Norway 99.52 99.75 Austria 99.55 98.94
Italy 99.16 98.88 Mexico 97.24 95.93

Getting Started:

from deepparse.parser import AddressParser

address_parser = AddressParser(model_type="bpemb", device=0)

# you can parse one address
parsed_address = address_parser("350 rue des Lilas Ouest Québec Québec G1L 1B6")

# or multiple addresses
parsed_address = address_parser(
    ["350 rue des Lilas Ouest Québec Québec G1L 1B6", "350 rue des Lilas Ouest Québec Québec G1L 1B6"])

# or multinational addresses
# Canada, US, Germany, UK and South Korea
parsed_address = address_parser(
    ["350 rue des Lilas Ouest Québec Québec G1L 1B6", "777 Brockton Avenue, Abington MA 2351",
     "Ansgarstr. 4, Wallenhorst, 49134", "221 B Baker Street", "서울특별시 종로구 사직로3길 23"])

# you can also get the probability of the predicted tags
parsed_address = address_parser("350 rue des Lilas Ouest Québec Québec G1L 1B6", with_prob=True)

The predictions tags are the following

  • "StreetNumber": for the street number,
  • "StreetName": for the name of the street,
  • "Unit": for the unit (such as apartment),
  • "Municipality": for the municipality,
  • "Province": for the province or local region,
  • "PostalCode": for the postal code,
  • "Orientation": for the street orientation (e.g. west, east),
  • "GeneralDelivery": for other delivery information.

Retrain a Model

see here for a complete example.

# We will retrain the fasttext version of our pretrained model.
address_parser = AddressParser(model_type="fasttext", device=0)

address_parser.retrain(training_container, 0.8, epochs=5, batch_size=8)

Retrain a Model With New Tags

See here for a complete example.


address_components = {"ATag":0, "AnotherTag": 1, "EOS": 2}
address_parser.retrain(training_container, 0.8, epochs=1, batch_size=128, prediction_tags=address_components)
