Including contraction tokens for concept mapping

["Koola, Jejo David" <je...@vanderbilt.edu>]

Hello

I'm using CTAKES 3.2 with yTEX rolled into it. I am running on Windows 7 32 bit with JDK 1.7.

When running the ctakes CPE and specifyihng the included YtexPipeline, I'm confused as to the point of INCLUDING/EXCLUDING contraction tokens.  Regardless of whether include or exclude contractions, the phrase "Parkinson's disease" still gets mapped to the concept "Parkinson Disease."

In the same vein I'm confused whether INCLUDING/EXCLUDING other tokens makes any difference in terms of mapping to concepts.

Thanks

I'm not really sure what you mean by including/excluding contraction tokens
- what configuration are you referring to?

You can exclude contraction tokens from the list of annotations that the
DBConsumer stores in the database; this has no effect on concept mapping.
