Converting co-reference chains from conlll format to jsonlines format of clusters.

[ashim95]

First of all, thank you for sharing your code.

I am unable to understand how the co-reference chains from conlll files have been converted to the cluster format (the numbers in the clusters seem arbitrary !!).

Thanks,

The script that converts the conll files to the jsonlines format is here: https://github.com/kentonl/e2e-coref/blob/master/minimize.py. Could you be a bit more specific about what is confusing?

If you're asking about the cluster numbers in the conll format, then yes they are arbitrary. If you're asking about the numbers in the jsonline format, they are referring to start and end indices of each span within a cluster.

Thank You very much for your swift reply.

I was, in fact talking about the cluster numbers in jsonlines format. Now that you mentioned they are start and end of the spans, it all makes sense.

Again, thank you very much.
