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: finite element method | Statement: [Ted Belytschko, fieldOfWork, finite element method]

A.
Godunov-type schemes
Godunov-type schemes are a class of finite-volume numerical methods for solving hyperbolic conservation laws that use Riemann solvers to accurately capture shock waves and discontinuities.
-
B.
von Neumann stability analysis
Von Neumann stability analysis is a mathematical technique used in numerical analysis to determine the stability of finite difference schemes for solving partial differential equations by examining the growth of Fourier modes.

D.
Crank–Nicolson scheme
The Crank–Nicolson scheme is a finite difference method for numerically solving time-dependent partial differential equations, especially parabolic ones like the heat equation, known for its second-order accuracy and unconditional stability.

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]"
