Hi,

I have encountered false positives annotated with cTAKES that seem to come from 
case-insensitivity of the annotation lookup, such as:

Pt uses hearing aids. -> "aids" is found as DiseaseDisorderMention 
cui=C0001175, Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome

Pt values are all stable. -> "all" is found as DiseaseDisorderMention 
cui=C1961102, Precursor Cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia Lymphoma"

Are there ways in cTAKES to approach or to resolve such issues?

How do you deal with such false positives, so that they are not matched?

Regards,
Tomasz
