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: Robbins–Monro algorithm | Statement: [Herbert Robbins, knownFor, Robbins–Monro algorithm]

Target entity: Robbins–Monro algorithm
Context triple: [Herbert Robbins, knownFor, Robbins–Monro algorithm]
  • A. Gauss–Newton optimization
    Gauss–Newton optimization is an iterative numerical method for solving non-linear least squares problems by repeatedly linearizing the model around the current estimate and updating parameters to minimize the squared error.
  • B. Newton’s method
    Newton’s method is an iterative numerical technique used to find successively better approximations to the roots of a real-valued function.
  • C. Godunov's method
    Godunov's method is a numerical scheme for solving hyperbolic partial differential equations that uses exact or approximate Riemann solvers to compute fluxes at cell interfaces in finite-volume discretizations.
  • D. Baum–Welch algorithm
    The Baum–Welch algorithm is an expectation-maximization method used to train the parameters of hidden Markov models from observed data.
  • E. Bayesian optimization
    Bayesian optimization is a sample-efficient global optimization strategy that uses probabilistic surrogate models, typically Gaussian processes, to optimize expensive black-box functions with as few evaluations as possible.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

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.
