Perhaps we can write a short definition for what the ConceptMapper does. The following definition from the main UIMA sandbox web page:
*ConceptMapper is a powerful, highly configurable dictionary UIMA-based annotator. * is not very descriptive of its function. How about this one... *The ConcpetMapper a highly configurable, high performance dictionary lookup tool that adds synonyms and related terms to a token using one of several matching algorithms. It can be used to create an enhanced search experience for the users. * On Tue, Apr 28, 2009 at 10:30 AM, Michael Tanenblatt < [email protected]> wrote: > It is not clear how many people are using ConceptMapper at this point, > since it hasn't been officially released yet, but in working with some > projects that are currently using it, we have found some inefficiencies that > we'd like to correct.
