missing medication mentions (tika cTAKESParser)

[Patrick Young <pa...@gmail.com>]

I am using tika-app-1.19.jar & ctakes4.0.0 to populate neo4j with ctakes
event mentions extracted from biomedical articles. However, I've noticed
some  medication mentions e.g., indinavir, zidovudine are missed while
other antiretrovirals such as lamivudine are detected.

The default CVD spots these meds properly though... any ideas why this
might be happening?

Many thanks,
Paddy Young

Hi Patrick,

If the default CVD works fine, then we may have to look at tika app implementation on how it processes the cTAKES output. It required you can come up with your parser.

Please check this link for more info on custom parser - https://github.com/GoTeamEpsilon/ctakes-rest-service/blob/master/ctakes-web-rest/src/main/java/org/apache/ctakes/rest/util/XMLParser.java

Regards,
Gandhi
