Japanese addresses are often perceived as inconsistent and unpredictable, primarily due to attempts to parse them using regular expressions (regex). However, the challenge lies in understanding the grammatical structure, semantics, and context rather than merely identifying patterns. A custom tokenizer was developed to accurately parse Japanese addresses by emitting tokens that account for contextual information, rather than relying on regex, which struggles with ambiguity and sequence dependencies. This approach leads to more reliable and deterministic parsing of address components.
The patterns in Japanese addresses are about structure, semantics, and context, and regex struggles with ambiguity and sequence dependencies.
I built a tokenizer that understands the grammar of Japanese addresses, which emits tokens that include their context for accurate parsing.
