NER 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).
Input

Context triple: [Pierre de Fermat, notableWork, Fermat polygonal number theorem]
  • A. Fermat's theorem on sums of two squares
    Fermat's theorem on sums of two squares is a result in number theory stating exactly which prime numbers (and, more generally, which integers) can be expressed as the sum of two perfect squares.
  • B. Fermat's Last Theorem
    Fermat's Last Theorem is a famous statement in number theory asserting that there are no whole-number solutions to the equation xⁿ + yⁿ = zⁿ for integers n greater than 2, a problem that remained unsolved for over three centuries until it was proved by Andrew Wiles in the 1990s.
  • C. Gauss’s lemma in number theory
    Gauss’s lemma in number theory is a result that relates the Legendre symbol to the number of sign changes in a certain sequence of multiples, providing a practical criterion for determining quadratic residues modulo an odd prime.
  • D. Hardy–Ramanujan asymptotic formula
    The Hardy–Ramanujan asymptotic formula is a landmark result in number theory that gives an approximate expression for the partition function p(n), describing how the number of integer partitions of n grows rapidly with n.
  • E. Ramanujan partition congruences
    Ramanujan partition congruences are remarkable number-theoretic results discovered by Srinivasa Ramanujan that describe surprising modular patterns in the partition function, such as specific arithmetic progressions where the number of integer partitions of an integer is divisible by a given prime.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
