Within the output, within MedicationMention there is org.apache.ctakes.typesystem.type.refsem.OntologyConcept
Within that, there is an attribute called "code" If you see code = "C7777777", then you are using a small sample dictionary that is included in cTAKES only for very basic illustration purposes, and you should try using AggregatePlainTextUMLSProcessor.xml instead of AggregatePlainTextProcessor.xml If that is not the problem, please tell us if you have checked cTAKES out from SVN or if you are have downloaded and are using the binary or source distribution, and which release (such as 3.1.1). Regards, James -----Original Message----- From: Mansour Al Akeel [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, November 08, 2014 2:03 AM To: user Subject: MedicationMention for Acetaminophen I am trying to experiment with the annotations for drugs using AggregatePlainTextProcessor.xml I copied some text from the web http://www.babycenter.com/404_whats-the-difference-between-acetaminophen-and-ibuprofen_12377.bc to test it. The following text: Acetaminophen and ibuprofen are both good medicines, and both provide the same basic relief from fever and pain, even though they have different chemical structures and side effects. Ibuprofen is recommended only for kids 6 months and older. results in ibuprofen being recognized but not Acetaminophen. I checked user FAQ http://ctakes.apache.org/user-faqs.html, and found : Why doesn't my UMLS term get indentified by the system but it exists in SNOMEDCT/RxNorm? The Dictionary Lookup that you are using filters out terms that don't have tui codes registered in the resources/org/apache/ctakes/dictionary/lookup/LookupDesc_Db.xml file. Edit that file and add "{TUI}" to the value list for "{semanticGroup}Tuis" property as below: For Example: < property key="semanticGroupTuis" value="{TUIS}" /> within < lookupConsumer className="org.apache.ctakes.dictionary.lookup.ae.UmlsToSnomedDbConsumerImpl" > Unforetunately there was no such property anywhere in the file. A similar thread http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/ctakes-dev/201406.mbox/%3c162a581621c64333b7ddc4ef95813...@bl2pr08mb516.namprd08.prod.outlook.com%3E suggested replacing <lookupConsumer className="org.apache.ctakes.dictionary.lookup.ae.OrangeBookFilterConsumerImpl"> with <lookupConsumer className="org.apache.ctakes.dictionary.lookup.ae.NamedEntityLookupConsumerImpl"> in the resources/org/apache/ctakes/dictionary/lookup/LookupDesc.xml Again, no luck. Any idea ?
