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: Vandermonde's identity | Statement: [Pascal's identity, relatedTo, Vandermonde's identity]

Target entity: Vandermonde's identity Context triple: [Pascal's identity, relatedTo, Vandermonde's identity]
-
A.
Pascal's identity
Pascal's identity is a fundamental combinatorial formula that relates adjacent binomial coefficients and underlies many proofs and properties of binomial expansions.
-
B.
binomial theorem
The binomial theorem is a fundamental algebraic formula that provides a systematic way to expand powers of binomial expressions, playing a key role in combinatorics and mathematical analysis.
-
C.
Pascal's triangle
Pascal's triangle is a triangular array of numbers in which each entry is the sum of the two directly above it, widely used in combinatorics, algebra, and probability.
-
D.
multinomial theorem
The multinomial theorem is a fundamental algebraic formula that generalizes the binomial theorem to express powers of sums with any number of terms using multinomial coefficients.
-
E.
Pochhammer symbol
The Pochhammer symbol is a mathematical notation representing rising factorials, widely used in series expansions, special functions, and hypergeometric functions.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
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]"
