Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox software Apache cTAKES: clinical Text Analysis and Knowledge Extraction System is an open-source Natural Language Processing (NLP) system that extracts clinical information from electronic health record unstructured text. It processes clinical notes, identifying types of clinical named entities — drugs, diseases/disorders, signs/symptoms, anatomical sites and procedures. Each named entity has attributes for the text span, the ontology mapping code, context (family history of, current, unrelated to patient), and negated/not negated.

cTAKES was built using the UIMA Unstructured Information Management Architecture framework and OpenNLP natural language processing toolkit.

Components

Components of cTAKES are specifically trained for the clinical domain, and create rich linguistic and semantic annotations that can be utilized by clinical decision support systems and clinical research.

These components include:

• Named Section identifier
• Sentence boundary detector
• Rule-based tokenizer
• Formatted list identifier
• Normalizer
• Context dependent tokenizer
• Part-of-speech tagger
• Phrasal chunker
• Dictionary lookup annotator
• Context annotator
• Negation detector
• Uncertainty detector
• Subject detector
• Dependency parser
• patient smoking status identifier
• Drug mention annotator

History

Development of cTAKES began at the Mayo Clinic in 2006. The development team, led by Dr. Guergana Savova and Dr. Christopher Chute, included physicians, computer scientists and software engineers. After its deployment, cTAKES became an integral part of Mayo's clinical data management infrastructure, processing more than 80 million clinical notes.

When Dr. Savova's moved to Boston Children's Hospital in early 2010, the core development team grew to include members there. Further external collaborations include:

• University of Colorado
• Brandeis University
• University of Pittsburgh
• University of California at San Diego

Such collaborations have extended cTAKES' capabilities into other areas such as Temporal Reasoning, Clinical Question Answering, and coreference resolution for the clinical domain.

In 2010, cTAKES was adopted by the i2b2 program and is a central component of the SHARP Area 4.

In 2013, cTAKES released their first release as an Apache incubator project: cTAKES 3.0.Шаблон:Citation needed

In March 2013, cTAKES became an Apache Top Level Project (TLP).

• NegEx - is a tool developed at the University of Pittsburgh to detect negated terms from clinical text. The system utilizes trigger terms as a method to determine likely negation scenarios within a sentence.
• ConText): an extension to NegEx, and is also developed by the University of Pittsburgh. ConText extends NegEx to not only detect negated concepts, but to also find temporal (recent, historical or hypothetical scenarios) and who the Subject (of experience) is (patient or other).

• MedEx - a tool for extraction medication information from clinical text. MedEx processes free-text clinical records to recognize medication names and signature information, such as drug dose, frequency, route, and duration. Use is free with a UMLS license. It is a standalone application for Linux and Windows.
• SecTag (section tagging hierarchy): recognizes note section headers using NLP, Bayesian, spelling correction, and scoring techniques. Use is free with either a UMLS or LOINC license.
