Potential conflict when expanding causal relation with coreference chain

Hi, I found the processing script here does not consider conflicted relation inference. It is possible for one pair of mentions to have "PRECONDITION" and "FALLING_ACTION" relations inferred at the same time. The conflicted pairs would better be deleted.

Thanks for pointing this out. Did you find any actual inconsistencies?

Yes. For topic 1, some inconsistency examples are
(the format is file (source, target) relation1 relation2)

1_18ecbplus.xml ('45', '150') PRECONDITION FALLING_ACTION
1_18ecbplus.xml ('92_93', '150') PRECONDITION FALLING_ACTION
1_21ecbplus.xml ('32_33', '53') FALLING_ACTION PRECONDITION
1_21ecbplus.xml ('47_48', '53') FALLING_ACTION PRECONDITION

Right. I don't have time to take care of that, but if you are willing to push code and revised annotation, I will make them available and acknowledge your contribution to the project.
