title: 'ulex: Unique Location Extractor'
version: 0.1.1
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.ulex
abstract: Extracts coordinates of an event location from text based on dictionaries
  of landmarks, roads, and areas. Only returns the location of an event of interest
  and ignores other location references; for example, if determining the location
  of a road traffic crash from the text "crash near [location 1] heading towards [location
  2]", only the coordinates of "location 1" would be returned. Moreover, accounts
  for differences in spelling between how a user references a location and how a location
  is captured in location dictionaries. For more information on the algorithm, see
  Milusheva et al. (2021) <https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0244317>.
