First let me brief you on what configuration I am using. I am using AggregatePlaintextProcessor.xml with DictionaryLookupAnnotar being DictionaryLookupAnnotarCSV.xml which reads dictionary from two files i.e one being the flat dictionary1.csv and another the lucene index one. I have added knee pain as single term in dictionary1.csv (like knee pain| knee pain) but still I am not being to get them as single entity. Am I missing something here?

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 -- Ravi Garg 3rd Year MSc (hons) Biological Sciences B.E (hons) Computer Science and Engineering BITS Pilani KK Birla Goa Campus
