John,
I've been out of the loop for a few weeks now w/the cTAKES developer list and
will be until end of Feb... too many pressing deadlines. I have to step
through the code again to verify if sectionizer uses reg ex but I'm pretty sure
that it does. Hmmm, that does sound interesting to train the sectionizer from
clinical notes. Not familiar with Mastif so hopefully someone else can chime
in on your question there. Talk to you and everyone very soon. :-)
Regards,
Paula
