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
Phrase: Whitney approximation theorem | Statement: [Whitney embedding theorem, relatedTo, Whitney approximation theorem]
NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07
Target entity: Whitney approximation theorem
Context triple: [Whitney embedding theorem, relatedTo, Whitney approximation theorem]
  • A. 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 \(\mathbb{R}^{2n}\)).
  • B. Nash embedding theorem
    The Nash embedding theorem is a fundamental result in differential geometry that shows any Riemannian manifold can be isometrically embedded into some Euclidean space, thereby realizing abstract curved spaces as concrete subsets of standard Euclidean space.
  • C. Brouwer fixed-point theorem
    The Brouwer fixed-point theorem is a fundamental result in topology stating that any continuous function from a compact convex set (such as a closed disk) to itself has at least one fixed point.
  • D. Janet–Cartan theorem
    The Janet–Cartan theorem is a fundamental result in differential geometry stating that any real-analytic Riemannian manifold can be locally isometrically embedded into a Euclidean space of sufficiently high dimension.
  • E. Hilbert’s syzygy theorem
    Hilbert’s syzygy theorem is a fundamental result in commutative algebra that describes the finite length and structure of free resolutions of modules over polynomial rings.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

Provenance (5 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.
