I have some experience with NLTK in Python. I have gone through s= ome of the basic literature on natural language processing.

<= /div>
Using NLTK I can perform entity extraction pretty easily.

My questions are

1. is there a t= utorial available on CTAKES from a development perspective. I need to use t= he API to perform entity extraction. (i need exact APIs).

2. How can someone build a custom corpus with CTAKES. I know it wor= ks in medical context but my use case is even narrower (like text related t= o gynecology)

Also, lastly, is there anyone on thi= s mailing list in Dallas region I would love to meet you in person.

Regards,
Abhishek.
