To whom it may concern, First, I would like to apologize if my question is vague, since I am new and unaccustomed to the cTakes diction. To keep my question simple and up to a point, let us assume that I am working only with an Apache OpenNLP. I do not have any UIMA-specific JAR files included, and let us assume that I do not want to include any of them (or keep it to a minimum), thus keeping the project confined to OpenNLP as much as possible.
As far as I know, UIMA is just a framework that does not provide any specific NLP tools (source: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24186742/is-uima-provides-only-a-wrapper-or-is-it-like-standfordcore-nlp-and-gate). This means that there should be a way of integrating the cTakes components with OpenNLP. What I would like to do is to simply have the Name Entity Recognition (NER) applied to a text, so I know which word from an inputted sentence is a medical term. The perfect option would be if I could have a *.bin file such as "en-ner-person.bin”, but I think that cTakes does not give us such an option, since there are no *.bin files. How would I accomplish such a task? Would there be any code, examples, tutorials, documentations, pseudo-code, ideas ,… to take a look at? Thank you kindly for your time, understanding, and a patience. Damir
