Named-entity recognition

Before disambiguation, gpt-5-mini classified whether the object phrase is a named entity — the step behind the object's NE type shown above.

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: Hermite polynomials | Statement: [Orthogonal Polynomials, contains, Hermite polynomials]

Target entity: Hermite polynomials
Context triple: [Orthogonal Polynomials, contains, Hermite polynomials]
  • A. Laguerre polynomials
    Laguerre polynomials are a classical family of orthogonal polynomials that arise in solutions of differential equations and play a key role in quantum mechanics and numerical analysis.
  • B. Hermite
    Hermite is a French surname most famously associated with the 19th-century mathematician Charles Hermite, known for his contributions to number theory, algebra, and analysis.
  • C. Hermite functions
    Hermite functions are a family of orthogonal functions built from Hermite polynomials and a Gaussian weight, widely used in quantum mechanics, signal processing, and approximation theory.
  • D. Legendre polynomials
    Legendre polynomials are a sequence of orthogonal polynomials that arise in solving Legendre’s differential equation, playing a central role in mathematical physics, especially in problems with spherical symmetry such as potential theory and quantum mechanics.
  • E. Jacobi polynomials
    Jacobi polynomials are a family of classical orthogonal polynomials depending on two parameters, widely used in approximation theory, numerical analysis, and solutions of differential equations.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
