s-cobordism theorem
The s-cobordism theorem is a refinement of the h-cobordism theorem in high-dimensional topology that characterizes when an h-cobordism is actually a product, using the vanishing of the Whitehead torsion as the key condition.

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: s-cobordism theorem | Statement: [h-cobordism theorem, relatedConcept, s-cobordism theorem]

-
A.
h-cobordism theorem
The h-cobordism theorem is a fundamental result in differential topology that classifies when two high-dimensional manifolds are diffeomorphic by analyzing the structure of a cobordism between them.
-
B.
Thom cobordism theory
Thom cobordism theory is a foundational branch of algebraic topology developed by René Thom that classifies manifolds up to cobordism using homotopy-theoretic and characteristic class methods.
-
C.
Hirzebruch signature theorem
The Hirzebruch signature theorem is a fundamental result in differential topology that expresses the signature of a smooth, compact, oriented 4k-dimensional manifold as a polynomial in its Pontryagin classes.
-
D.
Thom transversality theorem
The Thom transversality theorem is a fundamental result in differential topology that guarantees generic smooth maps are transverse to given submanifolds, underpinning the study of stable phenomena and cobordism.
-
E.
Whitney approximation theorem
The Whitney approximation theorem is a fundamental result in differential topology stating that any continuous function between smooth manifolds can be uniformly approximated by smooth functions.
- 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]"

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.
