Trailing units parsing

Open Zylatis opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

Is it possible to parse something like this?

"hi need to ship a 3 by 3 by 3m carton"

i.e. have it map the final units over the preceding numbers. Or, even better, if the final 3 had no units but it could still detect a 3D dimension specification

Dear @Zylatis, the current quantity model, in theory, should be able to recognize the three measurements. In reality it does not recognize all of them, because I guess this example is quite different.

What is your goal? Just extract 3d dimentions? Do you have the possibility to create some training data?

If so maybe the best solution would be to have a separate model just to solve this problem.
