I do not need to find the minimum distance between two named entities. I just have to know
that
there is not another one which is nearer to the first named entity. But my mistake was,
that I
did not handle all possible states that the named entities can have.
Of course what you wrote isn't wrong, it is just another way to guarantee that no
other named
entity is nearer than the current two.
By the way I see now that I just put the same block a second time. Sorry for this mistake,
my
solution is
not $ne3:NamedEntity(
q3:QuestionId,
q3.contains("bodySide") || q3.contains("anatomy"),
ne3_begin:begin,
ne3_end:end,
ne3_begin > ne1_end && ne3_end < ne2_begin ||
ne3_begin > ne2_end && ne3_end < ne1_begin)
Later in the rule I'm checking with an eval condition that these 2 named entities are
in range
of approximately 10 chars.
Maybe that will lighten your mind. The earlier post wasn't correct. I'm still not
using a function,
but that may change if I face more such problems in the future.
How you see, I only test that a specific NamedEntity is not between the first and the
second. That does not
guarantee that the two nearest NamedEntities are always a match. But that isn't
wanted.

Betreff: Re: [rules-users] Runtime Exception null accessor
Your rule doesn't look right to me, even after the fix, provided I've understood
everything correctly. (I'm assuming that a NamedEntity is a range in a
text and ranges don't overlap.) I would have thought that the distance
between two nonoverlapping ranges is given by
function int d( NamedEntity x, NamedEntity y ){
return Math.min( Math.abs( x.getBeg() - y.getEnd() ),
Math.abs( y.getBeg() - x.getEnd() ) );
}
and that such d-values need to be compared to guarantee the minimum,
taking care to replace NamedEntities with equal contents( "anatomy",
etc) when comparing one distance to another.

Hey again,
I've solved the problem. Seems that the error came from an unhandled
condition.
I hope that the following example helps other people with similar problems:
//Checking if there is and Anatomy-Attribute
$ne1:NamedEntity(
ct1:coveredText,
q1:QuestionId,
q1.contains("anatomy"),
label1:ResponseAttribute,
ne1_begin:begin,
ne1_end:end)
//Checking if there is also a BodySide-Attribute
$ne2:NamedEntity(
ct2:coveredText,
q2:QuestionId,
q2.contains("bodySide"),
label2:ResponseAttribute,
ne2_begin:begin,
ne2_end:end)
//Checking that there is no other Attribute nearer
not $ne3:NamedEntity(
q3:QuestionId,
q3.contains("bodySide") || q3.contains("anatomy"),
ne3_begin:begin,
ne3_end:end,
(ne3_begin > ne1_end && (ne3_begin - ne1_end) < (ne1_begin - ne2_end)) ||
(ne3_end < ne1_begin && (ne1_begin - ne3_end) < (ne2_begin - ne1_end)))
The last condition of ne3 does not handel the fact that ne1 is before ne2.
And I'm also not testing for this fact otherwise. So I changed the last
condition into:
not $ne3:NamedEntity(
q3:QuestionId,
q4.contains(".bodySide") || q4.contains("anatomy"),
ne3_begin:begin,
ne3_end:end,
ne3_begin > ne1_end && ((ne1_end - ne3_begin) < (ne1_end - ne2_begin)) ||
ne3_end < ne1_begin && ((ne1_begin - ne3_end) < (ne1_begin - ne2_end)))
Now it is not allowed that a named entity with questionId of anatomy or
bodyside is
between ne1 and ne2 (doesn't matter which comes first). The runtime
exception did not
occur anymore after I changed the rule.
So seems that the null accessor was a result of an unhandled condition.

Betreff: Runtime Exception null accessor
Hello Guys,
I've thought many hours about this problem, but don't know how to fix it.
I've also searched the web, getting only some unfinished problems. Maybe
someone here knows how to solve it:
Each time I'm running JDrools through my textfiles (I'm using it in
textmining concepts), I get the same runtime exception:
25.02.2013 18:03:59
org.apache.uima.collection.impl.cpm.engine.CPMThreadGroup process
SCHWERWIEGEND: The CPM thread group caught the following unhandled error:

SCHWERWIEGEND: Exception occurred
java.lang.RuntimeException: Null accessor on node: a1_begin

at
org.apache.uima.collection.impl.cpm.engine.CPMThreadGroup.uncaughtException(CPMThreadGroup.java:86)
at java.lang.Thread.dispatchUncaughtException(Thread.java:1888)
For me it looks like an unhandeld race condition (but I'm not quite sure).
Does someone have had this or a similar problem regarding null accessors at
runtime?
Thanks for your help.
Bojan
