I believe that I am in fact using the UMLS, since I run the
bin/runClinicalPipeline.sh with my UMLS credentials and I have added my
credentials to the bin/runctakesCVD.sh script as recommended by the user
installation guide (
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CTAKES/cTAKES+4.0+User+Install+Guide#cTAKES4.0UserInstallGuide-(Recommended)AddUMLSaccessrights
).
Also thanks for pointing out my Polarity=negation confusion, just started
reading through the Component Use documentation (
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CTAKES/cTAKES+4.0+-+Assertion#cTAKES4.0-Assertion-Negationattributeannotator
).
