Pei: Following up on these examples, I think I’m still needing a bit of additional guidance.
Specifically, I’m wondering if there’s a some sort of “idiot’s guide to creating new cTAKES annotators”. Having installed cTAKES and run some of the canned pipelines, I wrote some very simple code to do some basic extensions as needed for my work. However, I got hung up on trying to tie the descriptors for the types and annotator files together. I’ve tried copying and modifying of the existing cTAKES projects, but this doesn’t seem to work - the JCasGen output doesn’t go where it should, the CVD can’t find the annotator files, etc. It’s clear that I’m mission something, but I don’t know what it is. I was able to get comparable code running in bare UIMA in ~ 15 minutes, but I’d like to build off of cTAKES output. Are there any documents on how to get started? If not, do you have any suggestions? I’d be happy to try to write up an intro guide if I could get something to work, but I’m pretty stuck right now. thanks, harry On Jun 27, 2014, at 11:35 AM, Chen, Pei <pei.c...@childrens.harvard.edu> wrote: > Thanks. > Feel free to add/modify the examples...
