Description: 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)
