Hi Abad, >Is there any plan in cTAKES roadmap to have AE's for these attributes -- Not at the moment. The ctakes type system was intended to be completely representative of all desired clinical information. While this may run counter to a lot of development strategies, it served a purpose at the time. At any rate, most of the attributes in the types do not have corresponding AEs that can populate them. It is up to the open source ctakes community to implement and share such code and techniques.
>Does cTAKES offer any class or Extension points which we can extend and do our >processing outside cTAKES What do you have in mind? technically you can: - create an AE to stick to ctakes conventions (e.g. type system) during processing, - create an AE that translates ctakes types to some other types, performs custom java processing and then translates the custom types back to ctakes types, - create an AE that translates ctakes types to some available 3rd party types, performs 3rd party java processing and then translates 3rd party types back to ctakes types, - create an AE that translates, runs some external system process and then receives and translates process output, - create an AE that translates, sends information to some server process (e.g. rest) and then receives and translates process output, - probably something else that doesn't immediately come to mind. Practically anything is possible, it just depends upon what is already available and / or easiest for you.

As these attributes are very critical info in our system, Is there any plan in cTAKES roadmap to have AE's for these attributes which is integrated with cTAKES. Does cTAKES offer any class or Extension points which we can extend and do our processing outside cTAKES. Kindly advise.

You can add the example ae to a piper file by adding these lines anywhere after the dictionary lookup (which finds anatomic sites). package org.apache.ctakes.examples.ae add BodySideFinder These instructions are still mostly accurate: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com_-3Furl-3Dhttps-253A-252F-252Fcwiki.apache.org-252Fconfluence-252Fdisplay-252FCTAKES-252FPiper-252BFiles-26amp-3Bdata-3D02-257C01-257CAbad.Ayyub-2540cognizant.com-257C676e6493d02c474fcaff08d7b48a4f8b-257Cde08c40719b9427d9fe8edf254300ca7-257C0-257C0-257C637176378465583371-26amp-3Bsdata-3DWFbsaBMYkgoIIQDAdCxHpMHk685Sdr9iB8BPxRvjBVE-253D-26amp-3Breserved-3D0&d=DwIGaQ&c=qS4goWBT7poplM69zy_3xhKwEW14JZMSdioCoppxeFU&r=fs67GvlGZstTpyIisCYNYmQCP6r0bcpKGd4f7d4gTao&m=Ood08xK67TQfUr7T1v8M6wmJ_XCr-CC3bTiuAbS8S-Y&s=dJ1Md8LHAyt5Bmvo-WrlwBWqGx6jmssUmO1-uBsS9P8&e= You can create a body laterality ae by copying the body side ae code and replacing everything "side" with a "laterality". Then add that to the piper file with an 'add' command.

Actually we already had the annotators you mentioned in the other mail and still we were not getting those attributes but your example AE worked :) . So is it like cTAKES by default doesn’t have an AE to have values for these attributes or we need to add custom AE when and then required. If custom AE is needed how are we going to define those in piper files.

Though we are able to parse the clinical data at high level, we are not able to get values for attributes like bodySide and bodyLaterality. For eg: for the below text "He had a slight fracture in the proximal right fibula" It should have ideally populated values for 'bodySide' and 'bodyLaterality' in the 'AnatomicalSiteMention' as "right" and "proximal" respectively. These attributes are critical information in our profile. We tried different possibilities and still it's not working. We are new to cTAKES so we would like to know what should be the probable fix for it. Do we need to add any specific changes in our piper file to have AnalysisEngine needed for the same. I tried to unit test using the 'RelationExtractorAnnotatorsTest' coming under 'ctakes-relation-extractor' module but couldn't find an annotator.xml for the same. Pls. advise on how to proceed Thanks & Regards [cid:D3145E69-CD94-48C1-877F-5134EEAFB598] Abad Ayyub Vnet: 406170 | Cell : +91-9447379028 This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
