  abstract  = {Processing large amounts of natural language text using machine
               learning-based models is becoming important in many disciplines.
               This demand is being met by a variety of approaches, resulting
               in the heterogeneous deployment of separate, partly incompatible,
               not natively scalable applications. To overcome the technological
               bottleneck involved, we have developed Docker Unified UIMA Interface,
               a system for the standardized, parallel, platform-independent,
               distributed and microservices-based solution for processing large
               and extensive text corpora with any NLP method. We present DUUI
               as a framework that enables automated orchestration of GPU-based
               NLP processes beyond the existing Docker Swarm cluster variant,
               and in addition to the adaptation to new runtime environments
               such as Kubernetes. Therefore, a new driver for DUUI is introduced,
               which enables the lightweight orchestration of DUUI processes
               within a Kubernetes environment in a scalable setup. In this way,
               the paper opens up novel text-technological perspectives for existing
               practices in disciplines that deal with the scientific analysis
               of large amounts of data based on NLP.}
