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

Context triple: [Hilbert problems, hasPart, Hilbert’s third problem]
  • A. Euler’s polyhedron formula
    Euler’s polyhedron formula is a fundamental result in topology and geometry that relates the numbers of vertices, edges, and faces of a convex polyhedron through the equation V − E + F = 2.
  • B. 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.
  • C. Hilbert problems
    The Hilbert problems are a famous list of 23 unsolved mathematical problems presented by David Hilbert in 1900 that profoundly influenced the development of 20th-century mathematics.
  • D. Poincaré conjecture
    The Poincaré conjecture is a landmark problem in topology that characterizes the three-dimensional sphere among three-dimensional manifolds and was famously solved by Grigori Perelman in the early 2000s.
  • E. Steinmetz solid
    The Steinmetz solid is a three-dimensional geometric shape formed by the intersection of two or more cylinders at right angles, often studied in calculus and solid geometry for its interesting volume and symmetry properties.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
