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).

A.
Sperner's lemma
Sperner's lemma is a fundamental result in combinatorial topology that guarantees the existence of a fully labeled simplex in certain labeled triangulations, and is widely used to prove fixed-point and equilibrium theorems.
-
B.
Knaster–Kuratowski–Mazurkiewicz lemma
The Knaster–Kuratowski–Mazurkiewicz lemma is a fundamental result in combinatorial topology that guarantees the existence of a point common to a family of closed sets covering a simplex under certain intersection conditions, and underlies several fixed-point theorems.
-
C.
Shapley–Gale theorem
The Shapley–Gale theorem is a foundational result in cooperative game theory that characterizes stable outcomes in assignment and matching problems, underpinning much of modern market design and matching theory.
-
D.
Ky Fan’s lemma
Ky Fan’s lemma is a combinatorial topological result that generalizes Tucker’s lemma and provides conditions guaranteeing the existence of certain balanced or fully labeled simplices in labeled triangulations of spheres or simplices.
-
E.
Tucker’s lemma
Tucker’s lemma is a combinatorial analog of the Borsuk–Ulam theorem that provides conditions guaranteeing the existence of certain complementary edge labels in triangulated spheres.
- F. None of above. chosen

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.
