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: Huet unification algorithm | Statement: [Gérard Huet, knownFor, Huet unification algorithm]

Procrustes
Procrustes is a figure from Greek mythology known as a cruel bandit who mutilated travelers to force them to fit his iron bed, until he was slain by the hero Theseus.
-
D.
Knuth–Bendix completion algorithm
The Knuth–Bendix completion algorithm is a procedure in term rewriting and automated theorem proving that transforms a set of equations into a confluent rewriting system, enabling decision of word problems in algebraic structures.
-
E.
Minkowski sum
The Minkowski sum is a fundamental operation in geometry and convex analysis that combines two sets by adding every vector in one set to every vector in the other, widely used in areas such as optimization, robotics, and computational 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]"
