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: Fourier series | Statement: [Jean-Baptiste Joseph Fourier, knownFor, Fourier series]
NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07
Target entity: Fourier series
Context triple: [Jean-Baptiste Joseph Fourier, knownFor, Fourier series]
  • A. Fourier analysis
    Fourier analysis is a mathematical method for decomposing functions or signals into sums of sinusoidal components, widely used in fields such as signal processing, physics, and engineering.
  • B. Fourier
    Fourier is a French surname most famously associated with Jean-Baptiste Joseph Fourier, the mathematician and physicist known for developing Fourier analysis and Fourier series.
  • C. Über die Darstellbarkeit einer Funktion durch eine trigonometrische Reihe
    Über die Darstellbarkeit einer Funktion durch eine trigonometrische Reihe is Bernhard Riemann’s seminal 1854 paper that laid foundational ideas for Fourier series and modern real analysis, including the concept now known as the Riemann integral.
  • D. Riemann–Lebesgue lemma
    The Riemann–Lebesgue lemma is a fundamental result in Fourier analysis stating that the Fourier coefficients (or transform) of an integrable function vanish at infinity.
  • E. Euler’s formula for complex exponentials
    Euler’s formula for complex exponentials is the fundamental identity \(e^{i\theta} = \cos\theta + i\sin\theta\), which links complex exponentials with trigonometric functions and underpins much of complex analysis and engineering mathematics.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
