Hi, community

1. What did you do this week?

I started this week with work on search_dates reimplementing and simplifying the current implementation.

With a goal to make a maintainable and solving many issues with the search_dates. I created PR for the implemented and tested across the results.

I am also trying to address many issues with search_dates function.

2. What is coming up next?

In the this week, I will try to complete the implementation of the search_dates and write tests for the newly implemented function find_first_date along with the few fixes in the implemented language detection library.

3. Did you get stuck anywhere?

I got stuck with a few questions but mentors helped and supported me to understand and solve the the issues and now its solved.

Thank you for reading!

Hello Everyone!

1. What did you do this week?

I worked with mostly on dateparser-download and preventing breaking changes.

Few more like dateparser-download setting default caching folder, researching on search_dates and how to improve that along with some codes, and updating CLDR data, reviewing the changes and improvising the tests.

2. What is coming up next?

In this week, I will try to complete the language detection PR and make it mergeable with the master and re-implement search_dates with the target of increasing accuracy and performance.

3. Did you get stuck anywhere?

This week was great I didn't got stuck. But in this week I spend significant time to reviewing all changes I made in the PR and improvised the code as much as possible.

Hi, community back with the third check-in.

1. What did you do this week?

This was a long week I learned many things

The biggest part was implementing dateparser-download entrypoints to download models from CLI.

Many more like shrinking and organising language data, langdetect set default DetectorFactory without changing global state, Setting fasttext default language and downloading if not already cached and Improving docs.

2. What is coming up next?

In the this week, I intent to fix all issues and code review, finish docs and make changes to prevent braking changes with the previous major version.

3. Did you get stuck anywhere?

I had some problem regarding on how to cache the downloaded fast text language detection models in the package. Now it's implemented and fixed.

Thank you for reading!

Weekly Update

Hello,

It was a really fun and productive week.

Few major milestones achieved this week were :-

Writing tests and docs.

Improving code and making language detection function easier by removing the requirement of apply_setting.

Language Mapping (CLDR & ISO 639).

Check working with other settings along with current.

Removing unsupported locale from language detecting.

Functionality test of the implemented library and discovered the speed and accuracy.

Next Week

The plan for next week is to do a more robust testing, it's settings and then move to updating docs. Moreover setting default language detection, and updating the language translation data.

Hi, community back with the second check-in.

1. What did you do this week?

Fixes and Tests - This week I spend most of my time writing tests, settings, making the implemented functions simpler for the user and updating setup.py

2. What is coming up next?

In the next week, I am looking forward to writing documentation, language mapping, create tests for settings and check workings with other settings.

3. Did you get stuck anywhere?

Nothing major as such, I had some minor problems with the tests.
