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: Knuth–Bendix completion algorithm | Statement: [Donald E. Knuth, knownFor, Knuth–Bendix completion algorithm]

Entscheidungsproblem
The Entscheidungsproblem is a foundational decision problem in mathematical logic that asks whether there exists a general algorithm to determine the truth or falsity of any given first-order logical statement.
-
B.
Hilbert’s Nullstellensatz
Hilbert’s Nullstellensatz is a foundational theorem in algebraic geometry that establishes a deep correspondence between ideals in polynomial rings and algebraic sets, linking algebra and geometry.

Hilbert’s program
Hilbert’s program was an influential early-20th-century initiative in the foundations of mathematics that sought to formalize all of mathematics and prove its consistency using finitistic methods.
-
E.
Hilbert’s syzygy theorem
Hilbert’s syzygy theorem is a fundamental result in commutative algebra that describes the finite length and structure of free resolutions of modules over polynomial rings.

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]"

Provenance (5 batches)
The batch behind each pipeline step, in order, with when it ran. Timestamps are batch-level — stages were processed in waves, so the object chain (NER → NED1 → NEDg → NED2) reads in order, but predicate / elicitation batches can sit in a different wave.
