spell corrector in cTakes

[Ashutosh Modi <mo...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is some spelling correction component available in
cTakes. Ideally, the component would makes use of both the english lexicon
as well the lexicons in UMLS.

In case such a component exists, please let me know.

Thanks,
Ashutosh

Hello Ashutosh,

As the new module is based on ML, the need for training it on large data
set is a key factor. I do not have a timeline to share with you. We are
definitely considering the use case that you have indicated as part of our
test cases.

Best,
Murali

Hi Murali,

Thanks for the info! When is it expected to be released? Is it possible to
get a chance to beta test it? Also can it handle (may be split) things like
words which have been joined into one for e.g. lymphnode (lymph+node),
because in such cases, cTakes fails to identify such UMLS entities.

Best,
Ashutosh

Ashutosh 

Great idea.

Wired Informatics has built a spell corrector and is looking forward to contributing back to cTAKES once it's fully tested.
There is something in sandbox, but it hasn't been vetted out nor has the full training corpus yet.
