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: TCP fast retransmit algorithm | Statement: [Van Jacobson, developed, TCP fast retransmit algorithm]

NEDg Description generation gpt-5.1

Instruction

Generate a one-sentence description of the target entity. 
You are given a context triple in the form (subject, predicate, object), where the object is the target entity. 
# Instructions
Use the triple to infer relevant information about the entity. Describe the entity based on what is most defining, well-known. 
Avoid repeating the information from the triple, unless really essential.
# Response Format
Return only the sentence: "Description: [one-sentence description of the target entity]"

Input

Entity: TCP fast retransmit algorithm
Triple: [Van Jacobson, developed, TCP fast retransmit algorithm]

Generated description

The TCP fast retransmit algorithm is a congestion-control mechanism in the Transmission Control Protocol that speeds up loss recovery by retransmitting packets after receiving multiple duplicate acknowledgments instead of waiting for a timeout.
