How to get date and time from text in python?

Question

Python

let's say there are strings like "after tomorrow at 5:30", "next Tuesday after 3"
and from this you need to get the date based on the reference and time
. What are the patterns for solving this problem?

Answer 1

There is absolutely fuzzy logic here, most likely you will need to parse phrases into lexemes, then determine the grammar of the phrase itself. Moreover, "after tomorrow at 5:30" and "tomorrow after 5:30", although they differ by one letter, you can miss by a day :-)
and, for sure, it will not do without some kind of vector mathematics, such as what action follows what and what applies.
Well, at least you need a lot, a lot of test samples. For example "yesterday he said it would rain tomorrow, it didn't rain", "two days ago from the third Sunday in October".

Answer 2

Wow ... This is, in general, a serious analysis of the text, it is usually necessary not only to highlight the time from the text, but also to find what fact this mention of time refers to, you can do it on your own in a few years ... Our company just puts an expensive and quite loading the computer (C++ code) system that does it.
Well, if the input is already receiving only lines of time, then the task is foreseeable. In a few weeks of work, 90% of the lines will be determined, I think :)

there is ABBYY Compreno technology, which just specializes in text analysis. It has an API that returns a not-so-complicated XML in response.

You can ask them, you see, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. It just might cost a fortune. But for the demand, they don’t take money)
