Looking forward to having ytex integrated within cTAKES! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Karthik Sarma Sent: Thursday, October 03, 2013 12:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: move ytex annotators to ctakes.apache.org?
This would be quite valuable -- in particular, ytex's annotation database connection is much easier to use than what ships with cTAKES. There are a fair number of other advantages, and I think they'd all be very valuable! -- Karthik Sarma UCLA Medical Scientist Training Program Class of 20??
