Description

Hi,

I think there is a regression in the way cTAKES discovers the subject status ("patient", "familiy_member", etc.) of an UmlsConcept. Using cTAKES 3.2.2 and the AggregatePlaintextFastUMLSProcessor of the clinical pipeline in the CVD:

1. "Patient's brother has a myocardial infarction."
"myocardial infarction" and "infarction" have subject = "patient"

2. "Father had a myocardial infarction."
"myocardial infarction" and "infarction" have subject = "patient"

3. "Sister was diagnosed with a myocardial infarction."
"myocardial infarction" and "infarction" have subject = "patient"

4. "Family member had a myocardial infarction."
"myocardial infarction" and "infarction" have subject = "family_member" (this is correct)

I am looking at the code of the SubjectCleartkAnalysisEngine. It looks like this is the code the pipeline calls to inferr the subject. How can this be fixed?
