Hi Abilash, Superb question. Unfortunately, I think that components are created and modified faster than they are documented. Being open source, there are authors of documentation who are not authors of the code - which is fantastic! Being the lazy developer that I am I wish that there was more of it!
You have probably already visited the wiki page on the primary ctakes components: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CTAKES/cTAKES+4.0+Component+Use+Guide and noticed that the covered components are mostly those in the default pipeline: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CTAKES/Default+Clinical+Pipeline In case you are interested in reviewing JavaDocs ... they are also a little sparse in some components. A Java Annotation has been added to most components called @PipeInfoBit that contains a short description of the component as well as required, alternative, and produced Types. You can see them graphically in the Simple Pipeline Fabricator GUI: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CTAKES/Simple+Pipeline+Fabricator+GUI Additional and more complete @PipeBitInfo descriptions are needed, so I implore the community to contribute. If anybody else knows of a good source for component information, please write - I could certainly benefit from such information!

Just curious to know, Is there any documentation available which talks about all the annotators that are part of CTAKES?
