Stanford Core NLP - understanding coreference resolution

Viewed 10500

I'm having some trouble understanding the changes made to the coref resolver in the last version of the Stanford NLP tools. As an example, below is a sentence and the corresponding CorefChainAnnotation:

The atom is a basic unit of matter, it consists of a dense central nucleus surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons.

{1=[1 1, 1 2], 5=[1 3], 7=[1 4], 9=[1 5]}

I am not sure I understand the meaning of these numbers. Looking at the source doesn't really help either.

Thank you
