Abstract:
Mechanisms are provided for scheduling execution of pre-execution operations of an annotator of a question and answer (QA) system pipeline. A model is used to represent a system of annotators of the QA system pipeline, where the model represents each annotator as a node having one or more performance parameters indicating a performance of an execution of an annotator corresponding to the node. For each annotator in a set of annotators of the system of annotators, an effective response time for the annotator is calculated based on the performance parameters. A pre-execution start interval for a first annotator based on an effective response time of a second annotator is calculated where execution of the first annotator is sequentially after execution of the second annotator. Execution of pre-execution operations associated with the first annotator is scheduled based on the calculated pre-execution start interval for the first annotator.
