Sean Finan commented on CTAKES-528:
-----------------------------------

There is currently no confidence calculated by the dictionary lookup module.

There are plans to implement this with a case-sensitive NER engine, but the 
confidence will be very rough.

> annotation confidence is always 0

>             Project: cTAKES
>          Issue Type: Wish
>          Components: ctakes-type-system
>    Affects Versions: 4.0.0
>            Reporter: ouyeyu
>            Priority: Major
>
> I noticed that annotation.getConfidence() and umlsConcept.getScore() both 
> always return 0.
> To figure out why this happens, 
> First, I found in 
> ctakes/ctakes-dictionary-lookup/src/main/java/org/apache/ctakes/dictionary/lookup/ae/NamedEntityLookupConsumerImpl.java,
>  the consumeHits function creates
> IdentifiedAnnotation neAnnot = new IdentifiedAnnotation(jcas);
> No confidence and score are added into neAnnot. 
>  
> Then I go to 
> apache-ctakes-4.0.0-src/ctakes-type-system/target/generated-sources/jcasgen/org/apache/ctakes/typesystem/type/textsem/IdentifiedAnnotation.java
>   public float getConfidence() {
>     if (IdentifiedAnnotation_Type.featOkTst && 
> ((IdentifiedAnnotation_Type)jcasType).casFeat_confidence == null)
>       jcasType.jcas.throwFeatMissing("confidence", 
> "org.apache.ctakes.typesystem.type.textsem.IdentifiedAnnotation");
>     return jcasType.ll_cas.ll_getFloatValue(addr, 
> ((IdentifiedAnnotation_Type)jcasType).casFeatCode_confidence);}
>  
> I further goes to the UIMA repo. 
> /uimaj/uimaj-core/src/main/java/org/apache/uima/cas/impl/CASImpl.java
> /uimaj/trunk/uimaj-core/src/main/java/org/apache/uima/cas/impl/CASImpl.java
>   @Override
> public final float ll_getFloatValue(int fsRef, int featureCode) {
>     return int2float(ll_getIntValue(fsRef, featureCode));
>   }
>  
>   @Override
> public final int ll_getIntValue(int fsRef, int featureCode) {
>     return this.getHeap().heap[(fsRef + 
> this.svd.casMetadata.featureOffset[featureCode])];
>   }
>  
> Does this mean in the heap, confidence and score are hardcoded as 0? And how 
> is the heap created?
> Is this always returning 0 a feature or a bug?
