How this triple was built (4 steps)

Every LLM step that produced this triple, in pipeline order — named-entity classification, the disambiguation choices (the exact options shown, with the pick highlighted), and the generated description. The batch + timestamp of each is in the Provenance table below.

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: Bott periodicity | Statement: [K-Theory, aboutConcept, Bott periodicity]
NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07
Target entity: Bott periodicity
Context triple: [K-Theory, aboutConcept, Bott periodicity]
  • A. K-theory
    K-theory is a branch of algebraic topology and algebraic geometry that studies vector bundles and generalized cohomology theories using algebraic and categorical methods.
  • B. Atiyah–Hirzebruch spectral sequence
    The Atiyah–Hirzebruch spectral sequence is a fundamental computational tool in algebraic topology that relates generalized cohomology theories, such as K-theory, to ordinary cohomology, enabling the step-by-step calculation of these invariants from simpler data.
  • C. Eilenberg–MacLane spaces
    Eilenberg–MacLane spaces are topological spaces characterized by having a single nontrivial homotopy group, serving as fundamental building blocks in homotopy theory and the definition of cohomology.
  • D. Hopf invariant
    The Hopf invariant is a topological integer-valued invariant that classifies certain continuous maps between spheres, playing a central role in homotopy theory and the study of higher-dimensional linking.
  • E. Pontryagin classes
    Pontryagin classes are characteristic classes associated with real vector bundles that capture topological information about the bundle’s curvature and play a central role in differential topology and geometry.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
