cTakes is specialized for the clinical/medical domain, where OpenNLP
is a general purpose natural language processing library without any
domain specific customizations.

I hope we can establish here a good collaboration between the two projects.

Hi Don,
The components can certainly be used in other domains, but one will most likely 
to retrain them
to get decent performance. (some classifiers such as smoking status, drug 
signature recognition, side effects, etc. are probably domain specific though) 
We actually reused existing code such OpenNLP and UIMA as a starting point.  
Please let us know if there was a use case or ideas you may suggest for us.

Thanks,
Pei

Hi Pei,

A lot of the components listed in the proposal and the Wikipedia entry
look useful for general natural language processing, not just
clinical-data processing.  Is it possible to use cTAKES for general,
non-clinical processing?  Or is it built on a general core with
clinical-data-related extensions?

Don
