How this triple was built (4 steps)

Every LLM step that produced this triple, in pipeline order — named-entity classification, the disambiguation choices (the exact options shown, with the pick highlighted), and the generated description. The batch + timestamp of each is in the Provenance table below.

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: Dirichlet principle | Statement: [Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet, notableWork, Dirichlet principle]
NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07
Target entity: Dirichlet principle
Context triple: [Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet, notableWork, Dirichlet principle]
  • A. de Bruijn–van Aardenne–Ehrenfest theorem
    The de Bruijn–van Aardenne–Ehrenfest theorem is a fundamental result in combinatorics that characterizes the number of Eulerian circuits in directed graphs, particularly de Bruijn graphs, and underpins constructions in coding theory and discrete mathematics.
  • B. Euler’s theorem
    Euler’s theorem is a fundamental result in number theory stating that for any integer a coprime to n, a raised to the power of φ(n) is congruent to 1 modulo n.
  • C. Sperner's lemma
    Sperner's lemma is a fundamental result in combinatorial topology that guarantees the existence of a fully labeled simplex in certain labeled triangulations, and is widely used to prove fixed-point and equilibrium theorems.
  • D. Mertens’ theorems
    Mertens’ theorems are classical results in analytic number theory that give precise asymptotic estimates for sums involving the Möbius function and the reciprocals of primes, illuminating the distribution of primes and their connection to the Riemann zeta function.
  • E. Grothendieck inequality
    The Grothendieck inequality is a fundamental result in functional analysis and theoretical computer science that bounds certain bilinear forms and has deep implications for Banach space theory, operator theory, and approximation algorithms.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
