About

Ask for weather information like a human.

Goals

Understand typical questions like:

• Hourly temperatures in Potsdam on 2020-09-15.
• Rain probability tomorrow in Berlin.
• Will it rain next week?
• Wird es morgen heiss?
• Wird es morgen regnen?
• Ist es morgen regnerisch?

Status

This is just a humble evaluation for parsing human-readable sentences into a structured type in order to be passed on to a weather data acquisition library like Wetterdienst. Currently, this is not implemented yet.

For the NLP task, the program evaluates the fine Python libraries spaCy and Flair.

As this is project is in its early stages, contributions are very welcome. Specifically, it would be sweet to see tests for languages other than English or German.
