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: B-splines | Statement: [Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice, covers, B-splines]

A.
Bezier curves
Bézier curves are mathematically defined parametric curves widely used in computer graphics and digital design to model smooth, scalable shapes and paths.
-
B.
Carathéodory–Fejér interpolation
Carathéodory–Fejér interpolation is a classical result in complex analysis and approximation theory that concerns constructing analytic functions, typically with bounded or positive real part, that match prescribed initial Taylor coefficients.
-
C.
Bernoulli numbers
Bernoulli numbers are a sequence of rational numbers that play a central role in number theory and analysis, especially in formulas for sums of powers of integers and in the study of special functions like the Riemann zeta function.
-
D.
Lagrange interpolation polynomial
The Lagrange interpolation polynomial is a classical formula in numerical analysis that constructs a unique polynomial passing through a given set of data points, widely used for interpolation and approximation.

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]"

Provenance (5 batches)
The batch behind each pipeline step, in order, with when it ran. Timestamps are batch-level — stages were processed in waves, so the object chain (NER → NED1 → NEDg → NED2) reads in order, but predicate / elicitation batches can sit in a different wave.
