There are no weights and no data, only some code to create a pytorch character based network and train it. Will you provide weights or data in the future? Do you have any benchmark over Nominatim or Google maps?

I think something like this (but with more substance) could be helpful for some people, especially in the social sciences.

Yea, I was expecting a general-purpose model or dataset to train a model. The idea is great, but - as it currently stands - of no use to most people.
