Hi all: I'm writing to update about my efforts to make a cTAKES "out of the box" VM with UMLS support. My specific use cases are for annotating DNA test results, so both publication text and patient notes are important towards this goal.
cTAKES VM. ================= Wrote bash scripts to download and install cTAKES on Ubuntu. Will provide interfaces for REST endpoints for each service (Clojure). UMLS Services ============ Wrote Clojure/REST services for invoking the MetamapAPI and looking up concepts/synonym entries in the UMLS. Will do the same for cTAKES in the upcoming months. Semantic Representation ==================== Is anyone else using UMLS SemRep <http://semrep.nlm.nih.gov/>? These annotations provide secondary evidence for the cTAKES medication and co-reference parsers, as well as additional annotations for other semantic types. Genetic variant parser (HGVS) ======================== Reece Hart released a standard HGVS parser<https://bitbucket.org/invitae/hgvs>which I intend to include in the VM distribution as an optional UIMA pipeline (callout REST service). Scalability: UIMA Async Scaleout with Fit ================================= I'm planning on using Clojuima <https://github.com/jimpil/clojuima> to scale at my company. Is everyone else using UIMA-AS as well, or planning to?
