Hello again cTakes Community,
Okay I'm delving into the assertion component now:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CTAKES/cTAKES+3.0+-+Assertion
I see that the AssertionAnnotation which is the
assertionMiniPipelineAnalysisEngine was added to the
AggregatePlaintextUMLSProcessor descriptor as part of the install.
1. I typed the following text in the CVD gui:
"patient had elevated blood sugar but tests confirm no diabetes. Patient's
father had adult onset diabetes. "
2. Loaded and executed the AggregatePlaintextUMLSProcessor descriptor
3. As stated in the Component Guide the output was in EntityMention and
EventMention.
The question that I have is that I see that there is also an Assertion type
right before the Concept type from the CVD gui. The Concepts have annotations
however there are no results for Assertion. I looked in the assertionAE and
see that both Assertion and Concept type systems are there. However, in the
capabilities section Assertion was not listed so I just added it so it looks
like this now:
<capabilities><capability>
<inputs>
<type
allAnnotatorFeatures="true">org.apache.ctakes.typesystem.type.textsem.EntityMention</type>
<type
allAnnotatorFeatures="true">org.apache.ctakes.assertion.medfacts.types.Concept</type>
<type
allAnnotatorFeatures="true">org.apache.ctakes.assertion.medfacts.types.Assertion</type>
<type
allAnnotatorFeatures="true">org.apache.ctakes.typesystem.type.syntax.BaseToken</type>
</inputs>
I reloaded and executed the AggregatePlaintextUMLSProcessor and still nothing
showed up for the Assertion annotations. Is there something that I'm missing?
Concepts is populated but I'd really like to see Assertion populated as well.
Thanks.
Regards,
Paula
