Hi Folks, I am working with Ctakes Wherein I am looking to search reason for discontinuation from the clinical notes. Does Ctakes offer any API or concept with which we can find the same. Example-> Mr. xxx have been recommended not to take Dilantin due to its side effects. In this case we need to train machine so that it tells us that the medicine was discontinued and the reason was its side effects. I appreciate if I can get small help also.
Thanks & Regards, Soumya Shree -----Original Message----- From: Pei Chen [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, June 05, 2015 2:32 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [DRAFT] [REPORT] Apache cTAKES Jun 2015 [DRAFT- Feel free to add/edit] ------- Report from the Apache cTAKES project [Pei Chen] ## Description: Apache clinical Text Analysis and Knowledge Extraction System (cTAKES) is an open-source natural language processing system for information extraction from electronic medical record clinical free-text. ## Activity: A talk about cTAKES using Spark/BigTop on processing Twitter data was well received at ApacheCon NA 2015.
