The Address Standardization pretrained model available on ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World is a deep learning model that is used to transform incorrect and nonstandard addresses into standardized addresses. Address standardization is the process of formatting and correcting addresses in accordance with global standards. It includes all the required address elements (street number, apartment number, street name, city, state, and postal code) and is used by the standard postal service.
An address can be identified as nonstandard because of incomplete details (missing street name or zip code), invalid information (incorrect address), incorrect information (typos, misspellings, formatting of abbreviations), or inaccurate information (wrong house number or street name). These errors make it difficult to locate a destination. A standardized address does not guarantee the address's validity, but it converts an address into the correct format.
This deep learning model is trained on an address dataset provided by openaddresses.io and can be used to standardize addresses from 10 countries.
