Fuzzy String Matching against UMLS Data

Hello,

Does cTAKES contain the possibility to configure UMLS dictionary lookup to
use fuzzy string matching instead of full string matching?

Thank,
Mike

Have you looked at the section titled "Text Overlap Match  " on the wiki
page for Fast Dictionary Lookup
<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CTAKES/cTAKES+4.0+-+Fast+Dictionary+Lookup>
?
Or are you looking to fuzzy match individual words?
