CSE Framework: A UIMA-based Distributed System for Configuration Space Exploration

To efficiently build data analysis and knowledge discovery pipelines, researchers and developers tend to leverage available services and existing components by plugging them into different phases of the pipelines, and then spend hours to days seeking the right components and configurations that optimize the system performance. In this paper, we introduce the CSE framework , a distributed system for a parallel experimentation test bed based on UIMA and uimaFIT, which is general and flexible to configure and powerful enough to sift through thousands option combinations to determine which represent the best system con-
