Thanks for bumping this Pei, it reminds me I meant to respond to it.
The OPQRST does sound like a great ML project. At a glance I might think
a sequence model over sentences (like a CRF) would be a good model.
But I'm wondering what the end use case is? Is it for teaching OPQRST to
new clinicians? Or maybe as a sort of middleware for other projects
where it might be a useful feature? Without a physician's intuition I
sometimes suffer from a failure of imagination on these things.

Hi John,

2) I work for the DoD and have latched on to several IRB approved projects
within that community where Ill be using cTakes, though minimally at first.
This is just a statement, a bug in the ear of the community of what people
are up to.
This is really news! Looking forward to hearing more...
has anyone considered (and maybe the components already do this in some way I
haven't explored yet - time is ever limited) adding an OPQRST classifier?
I'm not too familiar on how OPQRST would be determined from the patient's
record.
Just curious, how is it currently determined manually now? Is it a single
score determined by a formula/rule(s)?
Seems like another good use case for cTAKES output-- clinically focused.
