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).

Target entity: Chern–Simons–Witten theory
Context triple: [Edward Witten, notableWork, Chern–Simons–Witten theory]
  • A. Chern–Simons theory chosen
    Chern–Simons theory is a topological quantum field theory in three dimensions that plays a central role in modern geometry, topology, and theoretical physics, particularly in the study of knot invariants and gauge fields.
  • B. topological quantum field theory
    A topological quantum field theory is a quantum field theory whose observables and correlation functions depend only on the topology of the underlying spacetime manifold rather than its geometric details, making it a powerful tool in both mathematics and theoretical physics.
  • C. Atiyah–Singer index theorem
    The Atiyah–Singer index theorem is a fundamental result in mathematics that links the analytical properties of elliptic differential operators to topological invariants of manifolds, unifying analysis, topology, and geometry.
  • D. Chern–Weil theory
    Chern–Weil theory is a framework in differential geometry that constructs characteristic classes of vector bundles from curvature forms, linking topology and geometry through invariant polynomials.
  • E. Jones polynomial
    The Jones polynomial is a powerful knot invariant in topology that assigns to each knot or link a Laurent polynomial, enabling the distinction of many knots that are indistinguishable by classical invariants.
  • F. None of above.
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

Provenance (3 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.
