ML NER for cTakes

[Maral Amir <ma...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

According to cTakes paper, "the ML NER module is not part of the current
cTAKES release". I was wondering if this is still true and the current
release still uses lookup for NER or we have ML NER for the current version.

Thanks,
Maral

Yes, this is still true. I know there are different folks working on ML-based NER but none of it is in main line cTAKES yet. There is some ML in the pre-processing stages, and the outputs of that are used by the dictionary tool, but the lookup itself is done without learning.
