Named-entity recognition
gpt-5-mini
Instruction
Given a phrase, classify it is english named entity (e.g., persons, organizations, works of art) in Latin script, or not (e.g., literals, dates, URLs, verbose phrases). For disambiguation, the statement where the phrase occurs as object is also given. Please return a JSON object with `phrase` (string, the phrase being analyzed) and `is_ne` (boolean, indicating whether the phrase is a Named Entity).

-
A.
Whitney approximation theorem
chosen
The Whitney approximation theorem is a fundamental result in differential topology stating that any continuous function between smooth manifolds can be uniformly approximated by smooth functions.
-
B.
Whitney embedding theorem
The Whitney embedding theorem is a fundamental result in differential topology stating that any smooth n-dimensional manifold can be embedded as a submanifold of Euclidean space of sufficiently high dimension (specifically \(\mathbb{R}^{2n}\)).
-
C.
Stiefel–Whitney classes
Stiefel–Whitney classes are characteristic classes in algebraic topology that assign cohomology invariants to real vector bundles, capturing their topological and orientability properties.
-
D.
Thom transversality theorem
The Thom transversality theorem is a fundamental result in differential topology that guarantees generic smooth maps are transverse to given submanifolds, underpinning the study of stable phenomena and cobordism.
-
E.
Whitehead product in homotopy theory
The Whitehead product in homotopy theory is a bilinear operation on homotopy groups that captures how spheres can be nontrivially linked or composed within a topological space.
- F. None of above.
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
Provenance (3 batches)
The batch behind each pipeline step, in order, with when it ran. Timestamps are batch-level — stages were processed in waves, so the object chain (NER → NED1 → NEDg → NED2) reads in order, but predicate / elicitation batches can sit in a different wave.
