Also, before you go on to process text in production, you will want to consider dictionaries and models. If you did not obtain the rights yet to the UMLS resources and models, you will want to do so. Be aware, the models within cTAKES have been trained on data that may not match your data well enough to be effective. In some cases you might want to modify the dictionaries and train models using your own data.
