This deep learning model can be used to classify addresses into their respective countries.
Accurate locations of people or places of interest are important to drive business and improve government services. For accurate location, correctly geocoding addresses is necessary. Street addresses may sometimes be missing the country information, and geocoding incomplete addresses often results in poor accuracy. Geocoding accuracy and performance increases when the country is specified. This model categorizes incomplete addresses by automatically assigning the country they belong to.
This deep learning model is trained on an address dataset provided by openaddresses.io and can be used to classify addresses from 18 countries.
