Troy,
My vote would be to mention in the user guide that "real" entity recognition 
requires the umls component, and maybe a link to the developers guide where 
that is explained? Probably there are some people who wouldn't know what to 
expect out of the box and will be disappointed that it doesn't find much. 
(Luckily some of them email our lists and we can help them figure it out, but 
there may be people who just figure it doesn't work very well and give up.)

Btw, the guides are really nice, great job on that.

The Developer install guide talks about UMLS integration:

Search for UMLS. It is described for Eclipse and for command line. Users that 
are just trying out cTAKES don’t have those instructions. Do you think they 
should be part of the User Guide?

Hi All,

Thanks for your time and help.

Thank you,

You would need to get a UMLS license to get the full functionality. It takes 
2-3 days to be approved for it.
Hope this helps.

Niall,
I'm sure Pei will get back to you soon, but just wanted to let you know, many 
of those entities will be found by the standard ctakes installation. I get 
aphasia and stomach.  It does not get blood pressure, I think because this is 
filtered out by UMLS semantic class - I think it is categorized as a 
"measurement," and cTAKES will find things like disease/disorder, 
signs/symptoms, and a few others, which this does not fit into exactly.  It may 
be worth thinking about how to include it if it will be useful. In this example 
it looks like it's linked to some assessment "HB +20%", I assume that is some 
measurement that would be useful to extract?

Hi,

I have question concerning concept identification.  I have modifying the 
example text given in the installation instructions to demonstrate the use of 
CAS Visual Debugger.

My text is:

Dr. Nutritious

Medical Nutrition Therapy for Hyperlipidemia and Aphasia

Referral from: Julie Tester, RD, LD, CNSD
Phone contact: (555) 555-1212
Height: 144 cm   Current Weight: 45 kg   Date of current weight: 02-29-2001   
Admit Weight:  53 kg   BMI: 18 kg/m2
Diet: General
Daily Calorie needs (kcals): 1500 calories, assessed as HB + 20% for activity 
and blood pressure.
Daily Protein needs: 40 grams,  assessed as 1.0 g/kg.
Pt has been on a 3-day calorie count and has had an average intake of 1100 
calories.  She was instructed to drink 2-3 cans of liquid supplement to help 
promote weight gain.
 She agrees with the plan and has my number for further assessment. May want a 
Metabolic Rate as well. She takes Codeine a day for knee and stomach pain.


Original entities and concepts are identified such as “Hyperlidemia” , 
“knee”,“pain”. However concepts associated with addition to the text are not 
identified such as “Aphasia”, “blood pressure”, “stomach”.  Also “metabolic 
rate” is not identified. Does anyone know why this is?
