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: Gegenbauer polynomials | Statement: [Jacobi polynomials, generalizes, Gegenbauer polynomials]
NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07
Target entity: Gegenbauer polynomials
Context triple: [Jacobi polynomials, generalizes, Gegenbauer polynomials]
  • A. Jacobi polynomials
    Jacobi polynomials are a family of classical orthogonal polynomials depending on two parameters, widely used in approximation theory, numerical analysis, and solutions of differential equations.
  • B. Orthogonal Polynomials
    Orthogonal Polynomials is a classic mathematical monograph by Gábor Szegő that systematically develops the theory and applications of orthogonal polynomial systems in analysis and approximation theory.
  • C. Bernoulli polynomials
    Bernoulli polynomials are a sequence of polynomials deeply connected to number theory and analysis, appearing in the study of special functions, series expansions, and the evaluation of sums of powers of integers.
  • D. Bernstein polynomials
    Bernstein polynomials are a family of polynomials used in approximation theory that provide a constructive proof of the Weierstrass approximation theorem by uniformly approximating continuous functions on a closed interval.
  • E. Hermite functions
    Hermite functions are a family of orthogonal functions built from Hermite polynomials and a Gaussian weight, widely used in quantum mechanics, signal processing, and approximation theory.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
