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: Morse Theory | Statement: [John Milnor, hasWritten, Morse Theory]

-
A.
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.
-
B.
Poincaré duality
Poincaré duality is a fundamental theorem in algebraic topology that relates the homology and cohomology groups of an oriented closed manifold in complementary dimensions.
-
C.
Poincaré–Hopf theorem
The Poincaré–Hopf theorem is a fundamental result in differential topology that relates the sum of the indices of a vector field’s isolated zeros on a compact manifold to the manifold’s Euler characteristic.
-
D.
Atiyah–Bott fixed-point theorem
The Atiyah–Bott fixed-point theorem is a fundamental result in equivariant cohomology that expresses global invariants, such as indices of elliptic operators, in terms of local data at the fixed points of a group action.
-
E.
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.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
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.
