cTakes: question on updating cue words
Hello again cTAKES Community,
I would like to add additional cue words to polarity (for negation) and uncertainty. I would so appreciate if someone can let me know how I can add additional cue words.
Thanks.
Regards,
Paula

Hi Pei,
Sorry for the delay...been swamped. I like the pillars of the Apache way, especially meritocracy. "We call this basic principle "meritocracy": literally, government by merit." Sounds like something right out of Atlas Shrugged, one of my favorite books. I'll just need to get up to speed with Jira. For now, how about you submit the jira to get the merit points as my little Xmas present to you. :-)
The cue words: 'lack of' for negation. I thought that 'predictive of' would be uncertain but now that I think about seems more like negation. ..."the patient has a blood sugar level that is predictive of diabetes." Patient may or may not have it in this case and high blood sugar could mean diabetes or other issues, so it's really questionable. Okay, I waffle on this one, final answer for 'predictive of' is an uncertain classification.
Thanks.
Regards,
Paula

Paula,
My intention was not to add on any unnecessary additional administrative. Feel free to make any changes to your local copy as you see fit, but I think your
suggestions such as new cue words are valuable contributions in making cTAKES better even if it’s just a 1 line code change.
Meritocracy is one of the pillars of the Apache Way [1] and one earns merit by contributing. In addition to tracking changes to the software, Jira is also
a useful tool to ensure that credit is properly attributed rightfully to their contributors.

Hi Pei,
I don't consider this a bug so not sure why a jira ticket is needed, I just need to add 2 cue words wondering if I can do it manually?
Exploring a bit, I see there are .psv files in Assertion component in the Cue_Words folder that I updated but it doesn't seem to work. I also added to the Semantic_Classes folder (in Assertion as well), the cue words in the .txt file and that didn't work
either.
One thing that I haven't tried is updating the cue words in the org.mitre.medfacts.i2b2.cuefiles package for the jar file: medfacts-i2b2-1.2.SNAPSHPOT.jar. That would be a little more work since I need to extract and rebuild jar file and add back to project.
I'm kind of on a huge deadline and hoping I can make these changes today so hoping this doesn't require a lot of time to just add a couple cue words.
By the way, was is a .psv file?
Thanks.

Hi Paula,
My suggestion would be to open a Jira item so that it could be tracked:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CTAKES (Feel free to create a new account).
Even cooler if you could attach the affected files with the patch(diffs) and any tests.

Hello again, I've been busy with figuring out the issue with sectionizer and had forgot about this...still haven't received a response. :-( I really hope Matt or anyone familiar with cue word updates can help.
Developers/users should be able to update cue words because it can be subjective as to what category a cue word may fall in. For example, 'predictive of' could be a negation or uncertainty depending on the task of taking current or future state into consideration. There are several cue terms in the cue term files that I'd like to change their assignment.
Who determines what gets classified as negation or speculation and so forth? Is it a committee? I really hope someone can explain more on the cue.model and what I stated in previous email.
Thanks.

Hi Matt,
I realized that I should have posted this on the developer site.
First of all, thanks for your followup a few weeks back. I hadn't been subscribed to the developer list prior to your post so I didn't see it until Pei mentioned it.
Not sure if you saw my response on user list but I wasn't able to get your suggestion to work so I defaulted back to what I was trying to do with updating the medfacts snapshot jar. After stepping through the code I see that cTAKES was identifying the new cue term from the updated medfacts snapshot jar (I had decompiled the jar, added the new term 'predictive of', then added jar back to cTAKES). Okay, so cTAKES did identify the new cue term but it's not getting allocated to the 'possible' assertion type. Since last night I've looked at several of the java files in the medfacts jar and quickly realized that UIMA is not just the foundation of cTAKES, MITRE is too!
I would love to understand how does the cue word type(i.e. 'predictive of') get associated to the assertion type(i.e. 'possible')? I can't seem to figure that out by looking at the code in the medfacts jar. I'd like to understand how I can update it so my new cue word gets recognized as a 'possible' assertion type. The existing words in the speculation are getting the correct 'possible' associate type. Just the new cue term I added defaults to 'present'. This leads me to wonder if it's the cue.model that's doing the assignment and has to be updated to recognize new cue word. I'm hoping you can elucidate further on what the cue.model file is and how it works. It appears to be a binary of some type. What tools would be needed to update it? Hmmm, the fact that it's a .model extension leads me to believe that it's the result of some hefty machine learning that's contained in that cue.model file.
Thanks so much.

Happy New Year cTAKES Community! Hopefully everyone's staying warm.
Okay, I did try Matt's suggestion from developer site
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/ctakes-dev/201312.mbox/%3cCED4DCCB.126B0%25mcoarr@mitre.org%3e
but unfortunately it didn't work so I just stepped through the code to see what's going on with how cue words are being used in cTAKES. I verified that the medfacts snapshot jar that contains around 30 txt files for cue words are all being called. So before I tried Matt's recent suggestion I did decompile the medfacts snapshot jar and add the new cue terms to the jar then added it back to cTAKES.... thought it wasn't being recognized but it is. I had updated the speculation text file with 'predictive of' as a new cue term and while stepping through I see that 'predictive of' was recognized as a cue term from the speculation file.
The problem is that it gets annotated as 'present' not as 'possible'. That's why I thought the updated cue term wasn't being recognized. I did a quick test using one of the already stated terms(I used 'improbable') from the speculation text file and sure enough the same file that contains the new cue term of 'predictive of' got annotated as 'possible' which has me wondering about the cue model and how it gets generated.
So to echo what Tim stated, what does the cue model do? What exactly is that file and how can the contents be viewed and regenerated or updated? Something clearly has to be updated so 'predictive of' gets annotated as 'possible'.
I'm so close to getting this resolved so I would appreciate any assistance.
Thanks.

Actually, I think Matt's suggestion is a bit out of date -- during development we removed the dependency on the lucene dictionary lookup and now the under development version does read those psv files directly.
But this still doesn't help Paula since she's trying to run the current release. I thought Matt or Pei might have some info about whether its possible to modify negation cue words for that release? For example, I can see in the code it uses a "cue model" which
can be found in ctakes-assertion-res but it is a binary and I'm not sure what kind. Is there any way to modify that file?

Hi Tim, I just realized that my manual cue word updates didn't take. :-(
I updated these two files from the med-facts.i2b21.2-SNAPSHOT.jar, then rebundled and added back to cTAKES:
1. negation_cue_list.txt
2. certainty.txt
Is there another file that you know of that needs to be updated? In the cue folder under the jar contains only text files perhaps there's another text file I need to update, would you know what the files would be or what other updates need to be made?
Thanks.

Paula, I think to use the released version of ctakes you will have to do what you proposed - modify the jar. The checked in files (*.psv) that you are finding are for the under-development version.

So to echo what Tim stated, what does the cue model do? What exactly is that file and how can the contents be viewed and regenerated or updated? Something clearly has to be updated so 'predictive of' gets annotated as 'possible'.
I'm so close to getting this resolved so I would appreciate any assistance.
Thanks.

Actually, I think Matt's suggestion is a bit out of date -- during development we removed the dependency on the lucene dictionary lookup and now the under development version does read those psv files directly.
But this still doesn't help Paula since she's trying to run the current release. I thought Matt or Pei might have some info about whether its possible to modify negation cue words for that release? For example, I can see in the code it uses a "cue model" which
can be found in ctakes-assertion-res but it is a binary and I'm not sure what kind. Is there any way to modify that file?

Hi Tim, I just realized that my manual cue word updates didn't take. :-(
I updated these two files from the med-facts.i2b21.2-SNAPSHOT.jar, then rebundled and added back to cTAKES:
1. negation_cue_list.txt
2. certainty.txt
Is there another file that you know of that needs to be updated? In the cue folder under the jar contains only text files perhaps there's another text file I need to update, would you know what the files would be or what other updates need to be made?
Thanks.

Paula, I think to use the released version of ctakes you will have to do what you proposed - modify the jar. The checked in files (*.psv) that you are finding are for the under-development version.

One thing that I haven't tried is updating the cue words in the org.mitre.medfacts.i2b2.cuefiles package for the jar file: medfacts-i2b2-1.2.SNAPSHPOT.jar. That would be a little more work since I need to extract and rebuild jar file and add back to project.
I'm kind of on a huge deadline and hoping I can make these changes today so hoping this doesn't require a lot of time to just add a couple cue words.

RE: cTakes: question on updating cue words
Posted by digital paula <cy...@hotmail.com>.
Hi Matt,
I realized that I should have posted this on the developer site.
First of all, thanks for your followup a few weeks back. I hadn't been subscribed to the developer list prior to your post so I didn't see it until Pei mentioned it.
Not sure if you saw my response on user list but I wasn't able to get your suggestion to work so I defaulted back to what I was trying to do with updating the medfacts snapshot jar. After stepping through the code I see that cTAKES was identifying the new cue term from the updated medfacts snapshot jar (I had decompiled the jar, added the new term 'predictive of', then added jar back to cTAKES). Okay, so cTAKES did identify the new cue term but it's not getting allocated to the 'possible' assertion type. Since last night I've looked at several of the java files in the medfacts jar and quickly realized that UIMA is not just the foundation of cTAKES, MITRE is too!
I would love to understand how does the cue word type(i.e. 'predictive of') get associated to the assertion type(i.e. 'possible')? I can't seem to figure that out by looking at the code in the medfacts jar. I'd like to understand how I can update it so my new cue word gets recognized as a 'possible' assertion type. The existing words in the speculation are getting the correct 'possible' associate type. Just the new cue term I added defaults to 'present'. This leads me to wonder if it's the cue.model that's doing the assignment and has to be updated to recognize new cue word. I'm hoping you can elucidate further on what the cue.model file is and how it works. It appears to be a binary of some type. What tools would be needed to update it? Hmmm, the fact that it's a .model extension leads me to believe that it's the result of some hefty machine learning that's contained in that cue.model file.
Thanks so much.

but it doesn't seem to work. I also added to the
Semantic_Classes folder (in Assertion as well), the cue words in
the .txt file and that didn't work either.
One thing that I haven't tried is updating the cue words in the
org.mitre.medfacts.i2b2.cuefiles package for the jar
file: medfacts-i2b2-1.2.SNAPSHPOT.jar. That would be a little
more work since I need to extract and rebuild jar file and add
back to project.
I'm kind of on a huge deadline and hoping I can make these
changes today so hoping this doesn't require a lot of time to
just add a couple cue words.
By the way, was is a .psv file?
Thanks.

Hi Paula,
My suggestion would be to open a Jira item so
that it could be tracked:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CTAKES
(Feel free to create a new account).
Even cooler if you could attach the
affected files with the patch(diffs) and any tests.

Hello again cTAKES Community,

Hi Tim, I just realized that my manual cue word updates didn't take. :-(
I updated these two files from the med-facts.i2b21.2-SNAPSHOT.jar, then rebundled and added back to cTAKES:
1. negation_cue_list.txt
2. certainty.txt
Is there another file that you know of that needs to be updated? In the cue folder under the jar contains only text files perhaps there's another text file I need to update, would you know what the files would be or what other updates need to be made?
Thanks.

Re: cTakes: question on updating cue words
Posted by "Coarr, Matt" <mc...@mitre.org>.
psv == pipe separated values (similar to csv being comma separated values)
Jira is not just for bugs, it's also for feature requests, changes in behavior, or just anything that needs to be tracked. Having a jira ticket helps track the item and when it gets incorporated in a release, the ticket helps us list what should be documented in the release notes.
For the under development version, you'd need to update the lucene indexes for "assertion_cue_phrase_index".
ctakes-dictionary-res/src/main/resources/org/apache/ctakes/dictionary/lookup/assertion_cue_phrase_index
You can update that with:
ctakes-dictionary-lookup/src/main/java/org/apache/ctakes/dictionary/assertion/CreateAssertionLuceneIndexFromDelimitedFile.java
Run this class (I'd normally do this via the eclipse developer setup), and make sure you're using ctakes trunk and using the source not the binary install. The one parameter should be the path to the directory containing the psv files. Normally that would be (specify the full path):
ctakes-assertion-res/src/main/resources/org/apache/ctakes/assertion/cue_words
If I remember right, this will output a lucene index directory in your current directory (if you're doing this via eclipse, that's set via the run configuration). After this has run, you should delete the old "assertion_cue_phase_index" directory in ctakes-dictionary-lookup-res and replace it with the new one you just created.
ctakes-dictionary-lookup-res/src/main/resources/org/apache/ctakes/dictionary/lookup/assertion_cue_phrase_index
If everything is working as expected, you could update a binary release built from ctakes trunk by replacing the directory:
resources/org/apache/ctakes/dictionary/lookup/assertion_cue_phrase_index

Paula,
My intention was not to add on any unnecessary additional administrative. Feel free to make any changes to your local copy as you see fit, but I think your suggestions such as new cue words are valuable contributions in making cTAKES better even if it's just a 1 line code change.
Meritocracy is one of the pillars of the Apache Way [1] and one earns merit by contributing. In addition to tracking changes to the software, Jira is also a useful tool to ensure that credit is properly attributed rightfully to their contributors.
