In this paper we explore a task-driven approach to interfacing NLP components, where language processing is guided by the end-task that each application requires.The core idea is to generalize feature values into feature value distributions, representing under-specified feature values, and to fit linguistic pipelines with a back-channel of specification requests through which subsequent components can declare to preceding ones the importance of narrowing the value distribution of particular features that are critical for the current task.
