• Updated dependencies

v3.0.3

3.0.3 (2024-07-16)

Added

• A cache_path option, to define the path for saving/loading the lookup structure cache. You should use this if your install directory is not writable.

Removed

• the config_file keyword, now replaced by config which accepts both filenames and dicts
• old lookup list names, e.g. prefixes now replaced by prefix
• annotator types custom, regexp, token_pattern, dd_token_pattern and annotation_context, all replaced by setting class directly as annotator_type
• everything in deduce.pattern, patient patterns now replaced by PatientNameAnnotator

v3.0.2

3.0.2 (2023-02-15)

Changed

• recognize 4+ spaces as a token, blocking annotations

v3.0.1

3.0.1 (2023-12-20)

Fixed

• a bug with packaging base_config.json

v3.0.0

3.0.0 (2023-12-20)

Added

• speed optimizations, ~250%
• pseudo-annotating eponymous diseases (e.g. Creutzfeldt-Jakob)
• PatientNameAnnotator, which replaces deduce.pattern
• a structured way for loading and building lookup structures (lists and tries), including caching
• pre_match_words for some regexp annotators, speeding up the annotating
• option to present a user config as dict (using config keyword)

Changed

• speedup for TokenPatternAnnotator
• some internals of ContextPatternAnnotator
• initials now detected by lookup list, rather than pattern
• redactor open and close chars from < > to [ ], as previous chars caused issues in html (so deidentified text now shows [PATIENT], [LOCATIE], etc.)
• names of lookup structures to singular (prefix, rather than prefixes)
• INSTELLING tag to ZIEKENHUIS and ZORGINSTELLING
• refactored and simplified annotator loading, specifically the annotator_type config keyword now accepts references to classes (e.g deduce.annotator.TokenPatternAnnotator)
• renamed interfix_with_capital annotator to interfix_with_name

Deprecated

• the config_file keyword, now replaced by config which accepts both filenames and dicts
• old lookup list names, e.g. prefixes now replaced by prefix
• annotator types 'custom', 'regexp', 'token_pattern', 'dd_token_pattern' and 'annotation_context', all replaced by setting class directly as annotator_type

Removed

• automated coverage reporting on coveralls.io
• options lowercase_lookup, lowercase_neg_lookup for token patterns
• everything in deduce.pattern, patient patterns now replaced by PatientNameAnnotator
• utils.any_in_text

Fixed

• some small additions/removals for specific lookup lists
• smaller bugs related to overlapping matches

v2.5.0

2.5.0 (2023-11-28)

Added

• the RegexpPseudoAnnotator component for filtering regexp matches based on preceding/following words
• a prefix_with_interfix pattern for names, detecting e.g. Dr. van Loon

Fixed

• a bug with BsnAnnotator with non-digit characters in regexp

Changed

• the age detection component, with improved logic and pseudo patterns
• annotations are no longer counted adjacent when separated by a comma
• streets are prioritized over names when merging overlapping annotations
• removed some false positives for postal codes ending in gr or ie
• extended the postbus pattern for xx.xxx format (old notation)
• some smaller optimizations and exceptions for institution, hospital, placename, residence, medical term, first name, and last name lookup lists

v2.4.4

2.4.2 (2023-11-22)

Changed

• multi-token lookup for first- and last names, so multi token names are now detected
• some small lookup list additions

v2.4.3

2.4.3 (2023-11-22)

Changed

• extended list of medical terms
