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

A.
Neumann boundary conditions in potential theory
Neumann boundary conditions in potential theory specify that the normal derivative of a potential function on a boundary is prescribed, modeling situations where flux across the boundary is controlled rather than the potential itself.
-
B.
Laplace equation
The Laplace equation is a fundamental second-order partial differential equation widely used in physics and engineering to describe steady-state phenomena such as electrostatics, gravitation, and heat conduction.
-
C.
Cauchy problem
The Cauchy problem is a fundamental type of initial value problem in partial differential equations, where one seeks a solution satisfying prescribed data on a given initial surface.
-
D.
Hilbert’s twenty-second problem
Hilbert’s twenty-second problem is one of David Hilbert’s famous list of 23 problems, concerning the uniformization of analytic relations and the representation of multi-valued analytic functions by single-valued ones on suitable Riemann surfaces.

Monge–Ampère equation
The Monge–Ampère equation is a fully nonlinear partial differential equation central to differential geometry, optimal transport, and several complex variables, often used to study curvature and geometric structures.
- F. None of above. chosen

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]"
