+1. Excellent job on the documentation, Troy! --Guergana
From: Masanz, James J. [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, April 12, 2013 1:02 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: RE: concept identification query +1, and I suggest it not just be mentioned, but that it be strongly mentioned. Maybe even change some headings on that User Guide page to indicate the "Install" is of the code, not of the real dictionaries. Perhaps the heading "Install cTAKES" could be changed to "Install cTAKES without UMLS dictionaries" Or add a new section between these two Install cTAKES Process documents using cTAKES Something like this Install cTAKES Install UMLS dictionaries (optional, but required to test Concept Identification on your own data) Process documents using cTAKES And under Process documents using cTAKES" we could have a big NOTE that says something like "Be aware that if you have not installed the UMLS dictionaries, you only have a tiny sample dictionary...." Troy, you have done such a good job at the docs, I'll leave these are suggestions for you, but I'd be happy to take a pass at drafting something on the Wiki if you'd prefer.

Information in the link provided by Troy is really helpful, if "user guide" has this link may be in ctakes-resources downloaded section, that helps users. Right now I am limited myself as user of ctakes and trying to understand what I may get our of the box, how much I need to customize to develop my idea into a to prototype. You guys have been really helpful with quick replies with solution pointers. Few days back, I was about to give-up, but with the help and pointers I am getting from you guys, motivated me to stay with ctakes and explore more. Now I am almost ready to finalize infrastructure and take-off for prototype development(few more things to hash-out and hoping they will be quick). Thanks again for your time and help.

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.

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?

AggregatePlaintextUMLSProcessor.xmlshould pick up stomach and aphasia etc. Sent from my iPhone On Apr 12, 2013, at 9:25 AM, "Tim Miller" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: 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?
