Hi Ryan,
That list didn't work for me as email added its own line endings, splitting
intended lines, and it ends up being 120 rows.
For instance:
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography
with Ampullectomy
is 2 lines instead of 1.
I will write something new for you in a little bit and maybe we can figure this
out.
Sean

[EXTERNAL]
* External Email - Caution *
Hello Sean,
I was able to get cTAKES packaged. However, the output text file isn't the
same number of lines as the input text file. For example, if the input text
file is 10,000 lines long then the output text file ends up being 10,630
lines.
This makes me think that there's another conditional statement (or two)
which needs to be added to the end of SentenceFirstCuiWriter.java.
Here's the current version of SentenceFirstCuiWriter.java I am using:
public class SentenceFirstCuiWriter extends AbstractJCasFileWriter {
public void writeFile( final JCas jCas, final String outputDir,
final String documentId, final String fileName )
throws IOException
{
File cuiFile = new File( outputDir, fileName + "_cui.txt" );
Map<Sentence, Collection<ProcedureMention>> sentenceMap
= JCasUtil.indexCovered( jCas, Sentence.class,
ProcedureMention.class );
List<Collection<ProcedureMention>> sortedSentenceProcedures
= sentenceMap.entrySet()
.stream()
.sorted( Map.Entry.comparingByKey(
DefaultAspanComparator.INSTANCE
) )
.map( Map.Entry::getValue )
.collect( Collectors.toList() );
try ( Writer writer = new BufferedWriter( new FileWriter( cuiFile ) )
) {
for ( Collection<ProcedureMention> procedures :
sortedSentenceProcedures )
{
ProcedureMention firstProcedure
= procedures.stream()
.min( Comparator.comparingInt(
ProcedureMention::getBegin )
)
.orElse( null );
if ( firstProcedure == null ) {
writer.write( "\n" );
} else {
String cui
= OntologyConceptUtil.getCuis( firstProcedure )
.stream()
.findFirst()
.orElse( "" );
if ( cui.isEmpty() ) {
writer.write( "\n" );
} else {
writer.write( cui + "\n" );
}
}
}
}
}
}
Below is the piper file I am using:
// Piper
reader org.apache.ctakes.core.cr.FileTreeReader
InputDirectory="C:\path\to\input\folder"
set ctakes.umlsuser=username ctakes.umlspw=password
load DefaultTokenizerPipeline
add POSTagger
load DictionarySubPipe
add SentenceFirstCuiWriter OutputDirectory="C:\path\to\output\folder"
If it helps, I have listed the first 100 lines of the input text file.
Again, the expected output text file should be 100 lines (i.e., 100 CUIs)
as well. However, the output text file returns 103 lines (103 CUIs). 3
extra CUI than what it should.
