How do you teach a machine to understand the world’s addresses—from London’s iconic 10 Downing Street to a remote Himalayan village? In this episode, we explore the groundbreaking work of Yandex, the Russian tech giant, as they tackle the global challenge of building a smarter geocoder. Discover how deep learning, active learning, and contrastive learning are reshaping the way maps and navigation apps work—handling multilingual addresses, cultural nuances, and even incomplete queries with ease. From logistics to self-driving cars, this universal geocoding model has the potential to transform industries and connect the world like never before. Join us as we unpack the technology, the challenges, and the enormous impact of Yandex’s ambitious approach. You’ll never look at your map app the same way again!
