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: Thompson order formula | Statement: [John G. Thompson, knownFor, Thompson order formula]

Target entity: Thompson order formula
Context triple: [John G. Thompson, knownFor, Thompson order formula]
  • A. Szekeres–Lindström theorem
    The Szekeres–Lindström theorem is a result in combinatorics that characterizes the maximum size of intersecting families of subsets, serving as a precursor to and special case of the Erdős–Ko–Rado theorem.
  • B. Legendre’s formula for valuations of factorials
    Legendre’s formula for valuations of factorials is a number-theoretic result that expresses the exponent of a prime in the prime factorization of n! as a sum of integer divisions of n by successive powers of that prime.
  • C. Thompson's algorithm
    Thompson's algorithm is a classic computer science method for converting regular expressions into nondeterministic finite automata (NFAs), widely used in pattern matching and lexical analysis.
  • D. Sylvester’s theorem on partitions
    Sylvester’s theorem on partitions is a result in number theory that provides a systematic way to count integer partitions subject to certain congruence or restriction conditions, forming part of the foundational work in partition theory.
  • E. Hardy–Ramanujan asymptotic formula
    The Hardy–Ramanujan asymptotic formula is a landmark result in number theory that gives an approximate expression for the partition function p(n), describing how the number of integer partitions of n grows rapidly with n.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
