For the record, there is a class called CONST in the type-system module that defines the polarity types (along with other attributes) -- if you are writing code you should use those constants (NE_POLARITY_NEGATION_ABSENT vs. NE_POLARITY_NEGATION_PRESENT). If you're not writing code then this is just a public service message to everyone else on the list!

Hello Chen,

Thanks a lot for informing. I'll follow the jira issue.

Further I had also doubt regarding the assertion annotator. I have been
using ctakes document processor on i2b2 data set. However even for terms
such as "no shortness of breath" , the assertion results are as follows:
confidence = 1.0
polarity = -1
uncertainty = 0
conditional = false
generic = false
subject = patient
entity = null

Kindly let me know how to detect negation using ctakes assertion
annotator.
Identifying whether the condition is present or absent is important in
my work.

Hi Deepal,
Just an FYI:
It looks like SectionSegmentAnnotator.java is in core, but the sample
SectionSegmentAnnotator.xml descriptor is in ctakes-clinical-pipeline.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CTAKES-169 has been opened to
fix this.

No. There should be one called SectionSegmentAnnotator.

Hello Pei,

Thanks for your quick reply. Are you referring to Simple Segment
Annotator from ctakes coredesc / analysis engine ?

Hi Deepal,
Check out the SectionSegmentAnnotator from ctakes-core project
which was contributed by the MIT folks. There is a simple XML
config for heading names.

Hello all,

I was looking at
SecTag<
http://knowledgemap.mc.vanderbilt.edu/research/content/sectag-
tagging
-clinical-note-section-headers
and
I was wondering whether ctakes has a provision or are planning
to have a Section Tag annotator. i.e. it annotates "History of
Previous Illness", "Medications on Admission" as section headers
in clinical
documents.
