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: Legendre symbol | Statement: [Gauss’s lemma (number theory), topic, Legendre symbol]
NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07
Target entity: Legendre symbol
Context triple: [Gauss’s lemma (number theory), topic, Legendre symbol]
  • A. Gauss’s lemma in number theory
    Gauss’s lemma in number theory is a result that relates the Legendre symbol to the number of sign changes in a certain sequence of multiples, providing a practical criterion for determining quadratic residues modulo an odd prime.
  • B. Pochhammer symbol
    The Pochhammer symbol is a mathematical notation representing rising factorials, widely used in series expansions, special functions, and hypergeometric functions.
  • C. Gauss’s constant
    Gauss’s constant is a mathematical constant arising in number theory and complex analysis, particularly in connection with the lemniscate and elliptic functions.
  • D. Gaussian periods
    Gaussian periods are special algebraic sums of roots of unity that play a key role in number theory, particularly in constructing regular polygons like the 17-gon with straightedge and compass and in understanding cyclotomic fields.
  • E. Fermat's theorem on sums of two squares
    Fermat's theorem on sums of two squares is a result in number theory stating exactly which prime numbers (and, more generally, which integers) can be expressed as the sum of two perfect squares.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
