This is an excerpt from Manning's book Natural Language Processing in Action: Understanding, analyzing, and generating text with Python.
GPS locations are typical of the kinds of numerical data you’ll want to extract from text using regular expressions. GPS locations come in pairs of numerical values for latitude and longitude. They sometimes also include a third number for altitude, or height above sea level, but you’ll ignore that for now. Let’s just extract decimal latitude/longitude pairs, expressed in degrees. This will work for many Google Maps URLs. Though URLs aren’t technically natural language, they are often part of unstructured text data, and you’d like to extract this bit of information, so your chatbot can know about places as well as things.
