Subject: Re: Regarding inconsistency in UMLS Dictionary Lookup Annotator

Also I found that in few records canonical forms of words were not annotated. 
For instance diabetes mellitus is recognized as a clinical concept , however 
diabetic is not recognized. Similarly catheterrization is annotated as medical 
concept however catheterized is not considered valid.

Attached herewith are screenshots for the same. Kindly let me know is this also 
related to batch processing or is this a limitation of cTAKES Aggregate UMLS 
Document Processor.

Thanks

Hello Kim,

Yeah when I processed record individually blood pressure was annotated as a 
medical concept. Can you kindly explain the reason behind this difference in 
behavior.

Thanks so much.

Hi Deepal,

Trying running the records individually and see if it identifies the terms 
correctly; if so I may have an idea of the problem.

Thanks,

Hello Kim,

The records were processed in a batch using UIMA Collection processing Engine.
The parameters for UIMA CPE were as follows:
Descriptor: UIMA File System Collection Reader
Analysis Engine: cTAKES Aggregate UMLS Plaintext Processor
CAS Consumer: XMI Writer CAS Consumer

Thanks

Hi Deepal,

Was either record processed in a batch of records? Or where they
processed as individual records?
