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.
von Neumann paradox in set theory
The von Neumann paradox in set theory is a foundational result showing that, under certain group-theoretic conditions, a set can be decomposed and reassembled into paradoxical subsets of equal “size,” illustrating the counterintuitive consequences of the axiom of choice.
-
B.
Dyson’s transform in number theory
Dyson’s transform in number theory is a combinatorial technique introduced by Freeman Dyson to manipulate and relate integer partitions, particularly in the study of partition identities and congruences.

C.
Conway’s Game of Sprouts
Conway’s Game of Sprouts is a pencil-and-paper topological game in which players alternately connect dots with lines under simple rules, leading to rich combinatorial and mathematical analysis.

NEDg
Description generation
gpt-5.1
Instruction
Generate a one-sentence description of the target entity. You are given a context triple in the form (subject, predicate, object), where the object is the target entity. # Instructions Use the triple to infer relevant information about the entity. Describe the entity based on what is most defining, well-known. Avoid repeating the information from the triple, unless really essential. # Response Format Return only the sentence: "Description: [one-sentence description of the target entity]"
