$begingroup$
I would like to extract all date information from a given document. Essentially, I guess this can be done with a lot of regexes:
- 2019-02-20
- 20.02.2019 ("German format")
- 02/2019 ("February 2019")
- "tomorrow" (datetime.timedelta(days=1))
- "yesterday" (datetime.timedelta(days=-1))
Is there a Python package / library which offers this already or do i have to write all of those regexes/logic myself?
I'm interested in Information Extraction from German and English texts. Mainly German, though.
Constraints
I don't have the complete dataset by now, but I have some idea about it:
- 10 years of interesting dates which could be in the dataset
- I guess the interesting date types are: (1) 28.02.2019, (2) relative ones like "3 days ago" (3) 28/02/2019, (4) 02/28/2019 (5) 2019-02-28 (6) 2019/02/28 (7) 2019/28/02 (8) 28.2.2019 (9) 28.2 (10) ... -- all of which could have spaces in various places
- I have millions of documents. Every document has around 20 sentences, I guess.
- Most of the data is in German

I had looked into this about 6 months ago and could not find anything that works out of the box for both English and German. What seemed promising was using some fuzzy matching, given you can make some half-descent assumptions about the possible formats, as in your examples. The same would go for a regex solution, I suppose. You could combine the approaches even.

fuzzywuzzy up to my knowledge is a bad match, as it essentially uses the Levensthein distance. For dates I need regexes ...
