## Description
`stedsans` is an innovative  Danish and English geoparsing toolkit for Python that facilitates efficient retrieval of the geospatial information embedded in textual data. The package is designed to handle textual input ranging from a single sentence to a large corpus. To broaden the appeal of the package and further set it apart from existing software, we decided to integrate user-friendly functions for visualising and statistically analysing the extracted geospatial data. `stedsans`  neatly compresses highly complex workflows into a single package with predefined functionalities that are tailored to the most common research questions and is aimed at the novice to intermediate geospatial analyst who has basic familiarity with coding and quantitative analyses. `stedsans`  utilizes Transformer-based models (Vaswani et al, 2017), including the Danish [Ælæctra](https://huggingface.co/Maltehb/-l-ctra-danish-electra-small-cased-ner-dane) and the English [BERT](https://huggingface.co/dslim/bert-base-NER) fine-tuned for Named Entity Recognition, to geotag entities. The GIS software Nominatim (v3.7.2) is used as the geocoding engine. Nominatim obtains data from the OpenStreetMap database (OpenStreetMap contributors, 2017). See metadata tables for licenses and documentation. 


## Demonstration
For a demonstration of the current tools, we strongly suggest that use the following Google Colab notebook. This provides a guided demonstration of the key functionalities of the package: 

[![Open In Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/assets/colab-badge.svg)](https://colab.research.google.com/github/MalteHB/stedsans/blob/main/notebooks/stedsans_demo.ipynb)
## Installation
`stedsans` is developed and tested on Python 3.7+.
### Windows
Since `stedsans` requires the package `geopandas`, and the dependencies can cause several issues when using Windows, it is recommended to first install [Anaconda](https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/), which comes with pre-built binaries for `geopandas`. 

After having installed Anaconda, create a conda environment and then install `stedsans` using `pip` and `geopandas` using `conda`.

```bash 
pip install stedsans
```

```bash 
conda install geopandas==0.9.0
```

### MacOS and Linux
For MacOS and Linus `stedsans` and `geopandas` can be installed directly by using `pip`.

```bash 
pip install stedsans
```
```bash 
pip install geopandas==0.9.0
```

## Usage
To use `stedsans` start by importing `stedsans`.
```python
from stedsans import stedsans
```
We can then initialize a `stedsans` instance on a pre-defined example text, and print the extracted entities.
```python
>>> example_text = "Hello my name is Malte and i live in Aarhus C. I love watching Randers FC, a football team from Randers, beat Brøndby IF, a football team from the devils island of Sjælland."

>>> my_stedsans = stedsans(example_text, language="english")

>>> my_stedsans.print_entities()

[   ('Aarhus C', 'LOC'),
    ('Randers FC', 'ORG'),
    ('Randers', 'LOC'),
    ('Brøndby IF', 'ORG'),
    ('Sjælland', 'LOC')]
```

These locations can then be vizualised using the `plot_coordinates()` function, and we can specify it to limit the locations to only coming from Denmark. This results in an interactive map.
```python
>>> my_stedsans.plot_locations(limit="country", limit_area="Denmark")
```
<div align="center">
  <img width="100%" alt="DINO illustration" src="img/plot_locations.gif">
</div>


<br />

You can also plot an interactive heatmap with `plot_heatmap()`.
```python
>>> my_stedsans.plot_heatmap(limit="country", limit_area="Denmark")
```
<div align="center">
  <img width="100%" alt="DINO illustration" src="img/plot_heatmap.gif">
</div>

<br />

`stedsans` provides lots of other features and tools and these are very thoroughly demonstrated in the Google Colab (if it wasn't obvious already - we really want you to use the colab:grinning:):
