I got carried away after reading the original paper linked by Eddie. I never used custom indexes in UIMA (Java) although I was aware there were some corner cases that needed them for the show. In this particular example the custom indices do buy you some good stuff (the top-k sentences need more slow Python code otherwise, the selected NER bit can be done easily by defining a new annotation). Interestingly, I wrote that top-k code in Java many times because... I just didn't know the indices could be used that way. In a way this was a bit of a contrived code to show what UIMA-CPP can do for the Python people. P
