I have already searched the archive of this mailing list however if this question is duplicate then please don't flame me.
I have some experience with NLTK in Python. I have gone through some of the basic literature on natural language processing. Using NLTK I can perform entity extraction pretty easily. My questions are 1. is there a tutorial available on CTAKES from a development perspective. I need to use the API to perform entity extraction. (i need exact APIs). 2. How can someone build a custom corpus with CTAKES. I know it works in medical context but my use case is even narrower (like text related to gynecology) Also, lastly, is there anyone on this mailing list in Dallas region I would love to meet you in person. Regards, Abhishek.
