Hello all, I have noticed a common theme in our notes where a list of conditions are listed with yes/no indicators, like this:
Hyperlipidemia: Yes Hypercholesterolemia: Yes Chronic Renal Insufficiency: N/A Chronic Renal Failure on Dialysis: No Acute Renal Failure: Yes Family History of CAD: No This is an area where good negation detection is important but I haven't very good results. The sentence segmentator sees this as 12 separate sentences, but I would think proper behavior would be to consider this as 6 sentences (breaking sentences on line break but not on colons). I suspect this is why the negation detection is not working well here, but I'm not well-versed in how the negation annotator works. Can anyone recommend a way to get better results here? I have tried a few variants of the AggregatePlaintextFastUMLSProcessor and AggregatePlaintextUMLSProcessor with no improvements. Thanks, Sean
