[+dev] Yu, Yes, you can run it from the command line in many ways. 1) You can write a Java class that does it for you. Similar to http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ctakes/trunk/ctakes-examples/src/main/java/org/apache/ctakes/examples/pipelines/ExampleAggregatePipeline.java
2) Run the CPE (Collection Processing Engine) via command line. I would suggest running it once via the CPE GUI first, then save the configuration to be run via command line. I would suggest using [CollectionReaderHere] [ *AggregatePlaintextFastUMLSProcessor*.xml] [CasConsumerHere] instead of AggregateCdaUMLSProcessor for your CPE configuration. Example of running the CPE from command line: java <copyyourargumentshere> org.apache.uima.examples.cpe.SimpleRunCPE <path_to_your_cpe.xml> On Wed, Jan 21, 2015 at 1:25 PM, Liang, Yu <yu.li...@nyumc.org> wrote: > Dear Pei, > > I have a question about cTakes.
