Pei, I need the name of the medications for the application that I wrote and uses ctakes.....so I cache the medication in DictionaryLookupAnnotator(in performLookup()) and use them in my program but when I have SimpleSegementAnnotator it just takes forever. After taking SimpleSegementAnnotator out, no medication name in DictionaryLookupAnnotator is returned in the code. So I was wondering if there was a way that I could eliminate SimpleSegementAnnotator but still be able to get the medications name in that class?

I think the DrugNER needs a list of section names in the config; I think it includes SIMPLE_SEGMENT. I am very surprised that SimpleSegementAnnotator is the bottle neck though; all it does is assume the entire document is a single section called SIMPLE_SEGMENT. Have you tried commenting out the DependencyParser if you're not using those features. --Pei On Tue, Sep 9, 2014 at 2:45 PM, Nick Nikandish <snika...@emerginghealthit.com> wrote: > > Hi there, > > I am using Ctakes to process 5000K free text records where each record has > several medications. > This is the fixed flow that it goes through: > > > <node>SimpleSegmentAnnotator</node> > > <node>SentenceDetectorAnnotator</node> > > <node>TokenizerAnnotator</node> > > <node>LvgAnnotator</node> > > <node>ContextDependentTokenizerAnnotator</node> > > <node>POSTagger</node> > > <node>Chunker</node> > > <node>LookupWindowAnnotator</node> > > <node>DictionaryLookupAnnotatorDB</node> > > <node>DependencyParser</node> > > <node>AssertionAnnotator</node> > > <node>ExtractionPrepAnnotator</node> > > But it takes very very long time to process that many data( maybe a week or > so) when I use SimpleSegmentAnnotator.
