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).

Target entity: Pillai’s conjecture
Context triple: [Ramanujan–Nagell equation, relatedTo, Pillai’s conjecture]
  • A. Bateman–Horn conjecture
    The Bateman–Horn conjecture is a far-reaching unproven statement in number theory that predicts how often sets of polynomial expressions simultaneously take prime values, generalizing several earlier conjectures about the distribution of prime numbers.
  • B. Pólya’s conjecture
    Pólya’s conjecture is a disproven hypothesis in number theory that proposed a specific long-term sign pattern for the summatory Möbius function, suggesting it would eventually remain nonpositive.
  • C. Erdős–Turán conjecture
    The Erdős–Turán conjecture is an unsolved problem in additive number theory asserting that any subset of the positive integers with divergent sum of reciprocals must contain arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions.
  • D. Hardy–Littlewood conjectures
    The Hardy–Littlewood conjectures are a collection of influential unproven hypotheses in analytic number theory that generalize the prime number theorem to describe the distribution of prime numbers and prime constellations.
  • E. Erdős–Moser equation
    The Erdős–Moser equation is a famous unsolved Diophantine equation in number theory that asks whether 1^k + 2^k + ... + (m−1)^k = m^k has any integer solutions beyond the trivial case (k, m) = (1, 2).
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
