Hello again cTAKES Community, I thought that adding the sentence
splitter(w/newline-sentence-continuation-recognition) would have been as simple
as it was adding the sectionizer annotator to the eclipse environment. I see
per VJ's note that it's not that simple, my understanding is that the standard
clinical pipeline requires the assertion and dependency parsers. I've explored
a bit of the changes needed and at least for Assertion looks like
SentenceDetector, SentenceSpan, likely the SingleDocumentProcessor from the
MITRE jar will need to be modified to recognize multi-line sentences. This is
so the assertion and dependency parsers can be kept in the pipeline. I would
love to devote the time needed to fix the sentence split to recognize sentences
that are multiline but I need to focus on hacking my way through the cue word
issue because I've been left in the lurch with no response to my posts :-(((((
Regards,
Paula
