First of all thanks James and VJ for the prompt responses.
I just verified with family history, history, subject, uncertainty, and
polarity. These features are not assigned if the annotation is on a new line.
Glad to hear the YTEX branch includes a sentence splitter that does not split
sentences on new lines. I think that will also solve the problem with the
sectionizer and it's sporadic NPE's.
Regards,
Paula
