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.
Cauchy determinant
The Cauchy determinant is a classical determinant formula in linear algebra that gives a closed-form expression for matrices with entries of the form 1/(x_i + y_j), named after the French mathematician Augustin-Louis Cauchy.
-
B.
Cauchy matrix
A Cauchy matrix is a structured matrix whose entries are defined by the reciprocals of pairwise differences of two sequences, widely used in numerical analysis, interpolation, and algebra.
-
C.
Cauchy interlacing theorem
The Cauchy interlacing theorem is a fundamental result in linear algebra that relates the eigenvalues of a symmetric matrix to those of its principal submatrices, showing how they "interlace" on the real line.
-
D.
Toeplitz matrices
Toeplitz matrices are structured matrices whose entries are constant along each diagonal, playing a central role in operator theory, numerical analysis, and signal processing.
-
E.
Clebsch–Aronhold invariants
The Clebsch–Aronhold invariants are classical algebraic invariants associated with binary forms, particularly quartic forms, that play a key role in invariant theory and the classification of algebraic curves.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
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]"
