All,

Is there any way to extract clinical text medical term extraction like 
(disease, symptoms etc) using opennlp?.


Thanks

I worked on a similar task a while back and extended the feature 
generators of the name finder a little
to be able to detect these entities better.
We are still missing a component to disambiguate/identify names, which I 
think you also need.

I think you could also take advantage of using OpenNLP UIMA package and plug
components from BioNLP project wrapped as UIMA annotators [1].

Hi Sriram,

There are many ways you can accomplish this via opennlp. One way is to treat them as Named Entities and then create a named entity training corpus first for those entities. 

Once you have created the named entity model, you can then use that to identify these terms. You might have to modify the feature generator to suite your requirements.
