A Workflow Manager for Complex NLP and Content Curation Workflows
Julian Moreno-Schneider, Peter Bourgonje, Florian Kintzel, Georg Rehm
Abstract
We present a workflow manager for the flexible creation and customisation of NLP processing pipelines. The workflow manager addresses challenges in interoperability across various different NLP tasks and hardware-based resource usage. Based on the four key principles of generality, flexibility, scalability and efficiency, we present the first version of the workflow manager by providing details on its custom definition language, explaining the communication components and the general system architecture and setup. We currently implement the system, which is grounded and motivated by real-world industry use cases in several innovation and transfer projects.- Anthology ID:
