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

NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07
Target entity: Mertens function
Context triple: [Mertens’ theorems, relatedTo, Mertens function]
  • A. Möbius function
    The Möbius function is a multiplicative arithmetic function in number theory that assigns values based on the prime factorization of integers and plays a central role in inversion formulas and the study of prime distribution.
  • B. Liouville function
    The Liouville function is a completely multiplicative arithmetic function that assigns values based on the parity of the total number of prime factors of an integer, playing a key role in analytic number theory and the study of prime distribution.
  • C. Riemann zeta function
    The Riemann zeta function is a complex-valued function central to analytic number theory, whose properties—especially the distribution of its zeros—are deeply connected to the distribution of prime numbers.
  • D. Chebyshev functions
    Chebyshev functions are arithmetic functions in number theory that encode information about the distribution of prime numbers and play a key role in analytic approaches to the prime number theorem.
  • E. Ramanujan’s sum
    Ramanujan’s sum is a number-theoretic function introduced by Srinivasa Ramanujan, expressing certain periodic arithmetic functions as finite trigonometric sums over primitive roots of unity.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
