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: Taylor's theorem | Statement: [Brook Taylor, knownFor, Taylor's theorem]
NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07
Target entity: Taylor's theorem
Context triple: [Brook Taylor, knownFor, Taylor's theorem]
  • A. Taylor series
    A Taylor series is an infinite sum of terms calculated from the derivatives of a function at a single point, used to represent and approximate functions as power series.
  • B. Essai sur l’étude des fonctions données par leur développement de Taylor
    Essai sur l’étude des fonctions données par leur développement de Taylor is a foundational mathematical treatise by Jacques Hadamard that investigates the behavior and properties of functions defined through their Taylor series expansions.
  • C. Euler–Maclaurin summation formula
    The Euler–Maclaurin summation formula is a fundamental result in analysis that connects sums and integrals, providing powerful asymptotic expansions and error estimates for approximating series by integrals.
  • D. Cauchy’s mean value theorem
    Cauchy’s mean value theorem is a fundamental result in real analysis that generalizes the standard mean value theorem by relating the rates of change of two differentiable functions on an interval.
  • E. Weierstrass approximation theorem
    The Weierstrass approximation theorem is a fundamental result in real analysis stating that any continuous function on a closed interval can be uniformly approximated by polynomials.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
