Every LLM step that produced this triple, in pipeline order — named-entity classification, the disambiguation choices (the exact options shown, with the pick highlighted), and the generated description. The batch + timestamp of each is in the Provenance table below.

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: Borsuk’s conjecture in geometry | Statement: [Karol Borsuk, knownFor, Borsuk’s conjecture in geometry]

Target entity: Borsuk’s conjecture in geometry
Context triple: [Karol Borsuk, knownFor, Borsuk’s conjecture in geometry]
  • A. Carathéodory’s theorem in convex geometry
    Carathéodory’s theorem in convex geometry is a fundamental result stating that any point in the convex hull of a set in ℝⁿ can be expressed as a convex combination of at most n+1 points from that set.
  • B. Helly’s theorem
    Helly’s theorem is a fundamental result in convex geometry that gives conditions under which a family of convex sets in Euclidean space has a nonempty common intersection.
  • C. Mazur’s theorem on convex sets
    Mazur’s theorem on convex sets is a fundamental result in functional analysis that characterizes the structure and approximation properties of convex sets in Banach spaces, particularly via convex combinations of sequences.
  • D. Minkowski’s theorem on convex sets
    Minkowski’s theorem on convex sets is a fundamental result in convex geometry that characterizes lattice points in convex bodies, underpinning much of the theory of convex polytopes and the geometry of numbers.
  • E. Hilbert's third problem
    Hilbert's third problem is one of David Hilbert’s famous list of 23 problems, asking whether every polyhedron of a given volume is equidecomposable with any other of the same volume, a question that led to the development of the Dehn invariant and the discovery of counterexamples.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

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.
