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

-
A.
Stirling numbers of the second kind
Stirling numbers of the second kind are a family of combinatorial numbers that count the ways to partition a set of n labeled elements into k nonempty, unlabeled subsets.
-
B.
Bell numbers
Bell numbers are a sequence in combinatorics that count the number of ways to partition a finite set into nonempty, unlabeled subsets.
-
C.
Pochhammer symbol
The Pochhammer symbol is a mathematical notation representing rising factorials, widely used in series expansions, special functions, and hypergeometric functions.
-
D.
Catalan numbers
Catalan numbers are a sequence of natural numbers that count a wide variety of combinatorial structures, such as correctly matched parentheses, binary tree shapes, and lattice path configurations.
-
E.
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.
- F. None of above. chosen

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]"
