Regarding UIMA knowledge I think its helpful to run through the UIMA tutorial to get a feel for how pipelines are executed and get familiar with the process of building up annotations at each step and then doing something with the final result. Running through the tutorial will get you familiar with different aspects of a pipeline (reader, annotator, consumer), how they are defined (collection processing engines, annotator descriptors), the objects they use internally, etc… Last I saw the tutorial was pretty quick and walked you through the process of doing things like identifying room numbers in documents and identifying a persons title in documents.
