Hello everyone. I have a PR (which is currently in commons-math) that has a method that takes a string and extracts whatever numbers it finds inside it. https://github.com/apache/commons-math/pull/233 There is a disagreement regarding the project that should take ownership of such a method. To which project does this method belong: LANG, MATH or TEXT and in which class? As for the usefulness of this method, there are a few scenarios: 1--This could be particularly useful for data mining or information extraction where you are dealing with unstructured text. It could be a part of a larger Natural Language Processing (NLP) or text analysis tool where numeric information needs to be analyzed separately. 2--If you're parsing contact information and want to separate phone numbers or other numeric information from a larger string. 3--If you are working with log files, XML or JSON data, and you need to extract certain numeric values that are embedded within text. 4--If the dates or times are in a specific format embedded in text, the method can be used to extract the relevant parts. 5--If you're scraping data from websites, it's often the case that useful numeric data like prices, dates, and identifiers are mixed in with other text. 6--if you want to extract all the numbers and perform mathematical operations such as sum, average etc. 7--For analyzing textual data for occurrences of numbers or patterns involving numbers. 8--In chatbots, virtual assistants, or any other AI that interprets human language, to identify and process numbers mentioned in the user's input.
Thank you all for your time and help
