Hi all. I've merged in an update to the AssertionZoner (for detection of Sections in clinical text). There's a new markdown file in the project ctakes-assertion-zoner describing the changes and how to take advantage of the new features. The update (code graciously permitted by my client UCSF) does not include a further configuration (sections_regex.xml) beyond the one supplied originally with ctakes. This you'll probably need to extend for the characteristics of the text you are working with, but it's a good starting point and one of the new features checked in here will help you determine which section definitions you'll need to add.
There's also a new ctakes-project: ctakes-mastif-zoner which was an external support library that needed modification ...so the external one, mastif-zoner-1.4.jar, has been removed as a dependency. The new "internal" version is based off of the mastif source version 1.6. Make sure you also remove the old version mastif-zoner-1.4.jar from any runtime areas. Peter
