Class CorefChain

java.lang.Object
  edu.stanford.nlp.dcoref.CorefChain

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class CorefChain
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable

Output of coref system. Each CorefChain represents a set of entries in the text which should all correspond to the same actual entity. There is a representative mention, which stores the best mention of an entity, and then there is a sequence of other mentions which connect to that mention.
