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).

-
A.
Euler’s polyhedron formula
Euler’s polyhedron formula is a fundamental result in topology and geometry that relates the numbers of vertices, edges, and faces of a convex polyhedron through the equation V − E + F = 2.
-
B.
enumerative combinatorics
chosen
Enumerative combinatorics is a branch of mathematics focused on counting and characterizing discrete structures, often using generating functions, bijections, and algebraic techniques.
-
C.
Sprague–Grundy theorem
The Sprague–Grundy theorem is a fundamental result in combinatorial game theory that assigns each impartial game position a nonnegative integer (its Grundy value), allowing such games to be analyzed and combined via nim-like addition.
-
D.
Hardy–Littlewood circle method
The Hardy–Littlewood circle method is a powerful analytic number theory technique that uses complex analysis and Fourier series to study additive problems such as Waring’s problem and the Goldbach conjecture.
-
E.
Fermat polygonal number theorem
The Fermat polygonal number theorem is a result in number theory stating that every positive integer can be expressed as a sum of a fixed number of polygonal numbers of a given order.
- F. None of above.
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
