Development of an AI language model for extracting address information

A central component of the customer's business model is based on the processing of address data. The recipient addresses are transmitted to the customer via various input channels and interfaces. It is not uncommon for parts of the recipient addresses (title, first name, surname, company name, street, house number, house number suffix, zip code, town and district) to be incorrect and, for example, mixed up. The reasons for this are usually incorrect entries during the ordering process or a lack of address validation by the customer's client. Incorrect addresses often lead to consignments being sorted incorrectly and therefore not being transported to the intended destination. They also make route planning more difficult during the delivery process, as route planning is based on the geocoordinates of an address, which can usually only be determined correctly if the individual components of an address have been recognized correctly.
