Features such as component-based design, test-driven development, and resource meta-descriptions now routinely provide higher robustness, better reusability, faster deployment, and improved scalability. They have become the staple of both NLP research and industrial application, fostering a new generation of NLP users and developers. Nevertheless, after more than a decade of the current generation of NLP frameworks, the NLP research and application landscape is shifting. This brings new challenges to both the developers of NLP frameworks and their users. Driving forces include in particular: - Social Media - Interoperability needs between different NLP frameworks, components, and resources - Terabyte-Scale Data Sets - Cloud and Grid Computing - Semantic Computing, Ontologies, and Reasoning - Cross-Media Language Analysis (text, speech, images, video) - Ambient Computing - Addressing more complex genres of language THEMES AND TOPICS This workshop will provide a venue for reporting ongoing work in the context of NLP frameworks, such as UIMA, GATE, and other related systems. Principal themes include: - issues and approaches in processing of very large data collections, e.g., parallelisation and distribution (particularly in relation to cloud computing) - sophisticated tools to build and manage complex processing pipelines and to analyse results - software engineering in relation to language computation - solutions to interoperability issues combining components from different sources (e.g., GATE, UIMA, NLTK, OpenNLP, NooJ) - integration with related areas (data mining, semantic repositories, big table databases) - persisting experimental contexts (computation and data), e.g. via virtualisation - distribution of self-developed components, repositories of ready-to-use UIMA/GATE-based components - efficient embedding of NLP processing in diverse environments (including small memory devices) - research on genericity of components and type-system independence - Service-Oriented Architecture (SOAs) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) models of language computation - automatic feedback processes of knowledge discovery and reuse from text INTENDED AUDIENCE The workshop aims to bring together developers and users of NLP frameworks from different perspectives, in order to elicit new requirements, feature successful solutions, and exchange successful patterns of NLP engineering. In particular, perspectives from the following user groups are welcome - Application Developers, from both research and industry, with application experience reports - Framework Developers, with an NLP/software engineering background - Researcher users of NLP architectures SUBMISSION FORMATS We solicit the following types of publications: Full research papers, describing novel, mature work, with an appropriate level of evaluation. Maximum of 8 pages in LREC format. Short research papers, describing novel, early work, with preliminary results; as well as position papers or application experience reports. Length of exactly 4 pages in LREC format. Open source tool/resource papers, between 4-8 pages in LREC format. To qualify for this category, the code or data must be accessible to the reviewers and, if accepted, published together with the workshop under an OSI-approved open source or open content license. Note that the PC may suggest reassignment of a paper into a different category depending on its contribution. Your submission must be formatted according to LREC's authoring guidelines, see http://www.lrec-conf.org/lrec2010/?Author-s-Kit-and-Templates Submissions will be handled through the START system. When submitting a paper from the START page, authors will be asked to provide essential information about resources (in a broad sense, i.e. also technologies, standards, evaluation kits, etc.) that have been used for the work described in the paper or are a new result of your research.

This is what I did : I am based on the uima default FileSystemCollectionReader descriptor that I call using ResourceSpecifier colReaderSpecifier = UIMAFramework.getXMLParser().parseCollectionReaderDescription(new XMLInputSource("desc/FileSystemCollectionReader.xml")); CollectionReader collectionReader = UIMAFramework.produceCollectionReader(colReaderSpecifier); Then I developed 4 analysis engines that I call like this ((BaseCPMImpl) mCPM).addCasProcessor(ae1); ((BaseCPMImpl) mCPM).addCasProcessor(ae2); ((BaseCPMImpl) mCPM).addCasProcessor(ae3); ((BaseCPMImpl) mCPM).addCasProcessor(ae4); the problem is that I want to give the user the option to tell the collection reader the folder he want to use containing the documents to be analyzed so i used this method after producing the collection reader ConfigurationParameterSettings settings = collectionReader.getMetaData().getConfigurationParameterSettings(); org.apache.uima.resource.metadata.NameValuePair[] valuePairs = settings.getParameterSettings(); for (org.apache.uima.resource.metadata.NameValuePair nvp : valuePairs) { // TODO: customize settings and save changes back using this crappy CPE API if(nvp.getName().matches("InputDirectory"))nvp.setValue("/path/to/test/if/that/work"); } And unfortunately the CPM seems to ignore this change and I think I'm missing something here. How to tell the CPM that I've changed the collection reader's configuration paramater settings ? Thx Rad </pre> Radwen ANIBA 2010-02-05T10:53:35 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.uima.general/2699 <pre> It's not the same thing. I see addCasProcessor is a method in BaseCPMImpl, and CPMImpl inherits from BaseCPMImpl. So you should be able to use this method. -Marshall </pre> Marshall Schor 2010-02-03T13:51:57 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.uima.general/2698 <pre>Thank you for your email addCasProcessor is not recognized as a method for CPMImpl, there is addCasConsumer but I don't know if it does the same thing 2010/2/3 Marshall Schor &lt;msa-DzKsKX1/Fv4AvxtiuMwx3w&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org&gt; </pre> Radwen ANIBA 2010-02-03T12:10:58 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.uima.general/2697 <pre> Looking at the code, it appears that the CPMImpl class has two different approaches for managing Analysis Engines AE. One approach assumes there is only one AE. This approach is used with methods like setAnalysisEngine, getAnalysisEngine, etc. These set and remove the one (and only) AE. If you try and set more than one AE, the previously set AE is removed, and the next AE is substituted for it, which is not what you are trying to do, of course. There are other methods that permit multiple analysis engines. These are methods like addCasProcessor. Try changing setAnalysisEngine to addCasProcessor. The error stack trace reveals this part of the framework code is buggy. I'll submit a bug report. -Marshall </pre> Marshall Schor 2010-02-03T12:00:08 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.uima.general/2696 <pre>Hello, I have devoloped a serie of AEs that I tested through CPE GUI,and now I'm trying to write a java aplication using these AEs and trying to do th same thing as CPE GUI. So I took as reference SimpleRunCPM example and I made these changes // create a new Collection Processing Manager mCPM = UIMAFramework.newCollectionProcessingManager(); // Register AE and CAS Consumer with the CPM mCPM.setAnalysisEngine(ae1); mCPM.setAnalysisEngine(ae2); mCPM.setAnalysisEngine(ae3); mCPM.setAnalysisEngine(ae4); Notice here I have 4 ae and not only one So when running this I have an error message in mCPM.setAnalysisEngine(ae2) saying Initializing AnalysisEngines Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 0, Size: 0 at java.util.LinkedList.entry(LinkedList.java:365) at java.util.LinkedList.remove(LinkedList.java:357) at org.apache.uima.collection.impl.cpm.engine.CPMEngine.removeCasProcessor(CPMEngine.java:1188) at org.apache.uima.collection.impl.cpm.BaseCPMImpl.removeCasProcessor(BaseCPMImpl.java:361) at org.apache.uima.collection.impl.cpm.CPMImpl.setAnalysisEngine(CPMImpl.java:70) So I don't know what is really the problem, if CPM do not take up to one ae or this is a problem in ae2 that I already tried without any bug. Any idea ? Thx Rad </pre> Radwen ANIBA 2010-02-03T10:40:08 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.uima.general/2695 <pre> Correct, that wouldn't have worked. Yes, that should work. </pre> Thilo Goetz 2010-02-02T10:29:33 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.uima.general/2694 <pre>Thank you Marshall, The SimpleRunCPM example is good but did not answer my question since I already have a coded CPE and do not need to use CPM. Or does it mean that instead of calling the CPE descriptor I have to follow CPM example to add manually all the AEs I have developped including the one that I change programmatically in the main class ? Radwen 2010/2/1 Marshall Schor &lt;msa-DzKsKX1/Fv4AvxtiuMwx3w&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org&gt; </pre> Radwen ANIBA 2010-02-01T19:28:43 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.uima.general/2693 <pre> I believe I had some code that initially already didn't work, but due to UIMA 2.2.2 not supporting generics, I didn't notice it. I had something like this: class MetaData extends TOP MetaData metaData = (TOP) jcas.getAnnotationIndex(MetaData.type).iterator().next(); In 2.2.2 this did not cause an error, but it likely also didn't work and I just failed to notice it. The problem here is that RunInformation inherits from TOP, not from Annotation. But getAnnotationIndex(...) returns an index of &lt;Annotation&gt; which in turn gets me an FSIterator&lt;Annotation&gt; so that next() returns an Annotation. Since RunInformation does not inherit from Annotation, that does not work. Digging into the API again, I believe the fix should be this: MetaData metaData = (MetaData) jcas.getIndexRepository().getAllIndexedFS(MetaData.type).next() Cheers, </pre> Richard Matthias Eckart de Castilho 2010-02-01T17:22:34 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.uima.general/2692 <pre> Radwen ANIBA wrote: See the example code in the examples, under org.apache.uima.examples.cpe.SimpleRunCPM, for an example of setting up a CPM to run after individually instantiating some components.

One is some custom code using ssh to launch scripts on remote nodes. The other wraps UIMA-AS application clients and services as servlets and uses a distributed application server platform to manage them. The servlet wrapper can be easily made based on the UIMA_Service class. It is a little more complicated to automatically create a WAR file from a UIMA Pear. Hopefully at some point we can clean up what we have and add it to SVN.
