Sean Finan commented on CTAKES-533: ----------------------------------- There are a couple of things that might be going on, but I think that the best candidate is the sentence splitter. If it splits "M.C.V." across two sentences then "M.C.V." will never be recognized as a single term. You could try using a different sentence splitter such as SentenceDetectorAnnotatorBIO in ctakes-core. > Cannot create custom words with "." in the custom BSV file > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CTAKES-533 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CTAKES-533 > Project: cTAKES > Issue Type: Bug > Components: ctakes-dictionary-lookup-fast > Affects Versions: 4.0.0 > Reporter: Piyush Agarwal > Priority: Major > > I am not able to define any word with a "." in the word in the custom BSV > file. > For e.g. if I want to define a custom word - "M.C.V" in the custombsv file, > this word is not being picked up.
