CuiTools-v0.07 released

We are pleased to announce the release of CuiTools version 0.07.

CuiTools (Coo-e Tools) is a freely available package of Perl programs for supervised word sense disambiguation (WSD) experiments. The name CuiTools comes from the Concept Unique Identifiers (CUIs) found in the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS). This package allows the user to extract features from the UMLS, such as CUIs and semantic types, as well general English features such as part-of-speech and unigram information. The package allows for experiments to be conducted with any of the machine learning algorithms in the WEKA data-mining package.

As of version 0.07, we have implemented an x-fold cross validation option. Originally, only x-fold cross validation could be performed using the WEKA datamining package. The limitation to this is that the features are extracted from the entire data set. In our x-fold cross validation, the feature are extracted only from the training portion of the data.
