EasyCIE(GUI) is a rule-based clinical information extraction tool for non-NLP(natural language processing) expert users. It a GUI wrapper on top of EasyCIE, an UIMA-based command line version that allows executing on servers.
Although this GUI component is designed to be extensible for adapting across different databases and wrapping other pipelines without hard coding, this wiki is mainly written as a user guide for EasyCIE(GUI).
EasyCIE is under active development. The components are expanding rapidly. In the current released version, the built-in NLP pipeline includes the following components:
- RuSH: an efficient, reliable, and easy adaptable rule-based sentence segmentation solution.
- FastNER: a speed-optimized dictionary-based (name entity recognition)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Named-entity_recognition] solution.
- FastContext: an optimized Java implementation of the ConText algorithm (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23920642).
- FeatureInferenceAnnotator: allows customizable conversion among UIMA types.
- DocInferenceAnnotator: allows to draw document level conclusion from mention level annotations using customizable rules.
