adding analysis engines to pipeline

["Kumar, Avanish" <av...@optum.com>]

Hi,
      I want to add smoking status and side effects analysis engines to my pipeline but unable to proceed as it is giving error when I write

                                               builder.add(SmokerNamedEntityAnnotation.createAnnotatorDescription());



Thanks and Regards,
Avanish Kumar

Hi Avanish,

For future reference, please provide a snippet of the error when one is thrown or logged.  It can really help others and possibly get you a faster and possibly more accurate answer.  thanks.

The first problem is that SmokerNamedEntityAnnotation is an annotation type and not an analysis engine.  You probably want to replace it with KuRuleBasedClassifierAnnotator, which is an analysis engine that helps determine smoking status.  That class is in package org.apache.ctakes.smokingstatus.ae.

The second problem is the call to .createAnnotatorDescription();   Not all ctakes analysis engines have this method.  None of the smoking status engines have this method.  As I do not know the class for your object "builder", I cannot with certainty tell you what to substitute.  Are you using a builder in uimafit or a builder in ctakes core?  If it is the former then you'll need something like add( AnalysisEngineFactory.createEngineDescription(KuRuleBasedClassifierAnnotator.class, {Parameters} ) ); while if it is the latter you can just use add( KuRuleBasedClassifierAnnotator.class, {Parameters} );

Sean
