Hi Joshua,

I think the main selling points are that Apache UIMA would allow you to
modularize the tasks in your application, and that for each NLP task, there
are numerous open-source UIMA annotators available that would allow you to
build a starter pipeline you could improve upon by building and training
your own custom annotators, or finding different, perhaps better (for your
domain), open-source annotators that perform the same task. For me, the
customizable, modular "plug-and-play" nature of UIMA pipelines has been
essential to optimizing performance.

In short, anything is possible with sentiment analysis in UIMA! But UIMA
itself doesn't DO the sentiment analysis.
