Pinpointing the Place: Mapping Messy User Locations to Official NUTS Regions
User-generated location data is messy — neighborhoods, ambiguous city names, and foreign cities all need handling. This post describes a pipeline that maps these inputs to official NUTS 3 regions using aggressive normalization and hierarchical lookups.
Bridging the Gap: A Multi-Stage Approach for Company Name Matching
