Hi Ravi, Yes, in your example "knee pain", the default behavior in the dictionary lookup will create 3 IdentifiedAnnotations "knee", "pain", as well as "knee pain".

I am very new to cTAKES so had a very basic question to ask. My query is Is it possible to identify multiple words as a single entity, for eg right now knee pain gets identified as 'knee' and 'pain', but is it possible to get 'knee pain' as single identity. If so what all changes I have to make to get going. -- Ravi Garg 3rd Year MSc (hons) Biological Sciences B.E (hons) Computer Science and Engineering BITS Pilani KK Birla Goa Campus
