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: inclusion–exclusion principle | Statement: [Foundations of Combinatorial Theory, hasKeyConcept, inclusion–exclusion principle]

A.
Dirichlet principle
The Dirichlet principle is a foundational concept in potential theory and the calculus of variations that asserts certain boundary value problems can be solved by finding a function minimizing an associated energy integral.
-

enumerative combinatorics
Enumerative combinatorics is a branch of mathematics focused on counting and characterizing discrete structures, often using generating functions, bijections, and algebraic techniques.

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.
