Thanks for the report. Mordecai was mostly built to geolocate subnational locations, but several people have requested this feature so I'm planning to add it in the next re-write.

I'm working on an update that uses Elasticsearch 7 and switches to Pytorch. The update works on my M1 so it should work for you, although Pytorch on the M1...

Thanks for that report! Floats are certainly more useful than strings for lat and lon and I'll change that in the next version. And if you haven't filled out the...

1. I use ES because I wanted fuzzy matching, which is especially important for transliterated placenames, and because an early deployment of Mordecai used several workers that shared a single...

You mean to recognize something like hour/minute/second coordinates in text, and then convert them to decimal coordinates? I think that would be a doable task as long as you were...
