Agreed. That said, more often than not, as mentioned in the comment above (COVID use case), we'd look for a higher recall value in the predictions - there, NERs, although helpful, wouldn't be our go-to solution. This is exactly the reason why we open sourced the infrastructure and are rolling out the data

As mentioned in the response below, we have posted the challenge with a respective data set of ~ 500k tweets from 100 regions around the world - https://github.com/1712n/yachay-public/tree/master/conf_geot...

We are working on adding more data as well - feel free to create a GitHub issue if there's more you need - we're going to be working on everything there is to do to help the developers here:)

Thanks! COVID is a great example of the use case, and we agree problems like this need more attention - we've shared some data already, and will continue to share more with the public to encourage collaboration on this. Hope you will find something useful there for your future projects:)

Nah, I think anyone can start at any age! It's like people asking if it's ever too late to learn a language. It miiight be a little bit harder because you're out of touch from mathematics, but even if you're a little bit rusty in that department, the learning gap isn't that huge. It's definitely possible.
