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).

-
A.
Whitney approximation theorem
chosen
The Whitney approximation theorem is a fundamental result in differential topology stating that any continuous function between smooth manifolds can be uniformly approximated by smooth functions.
-
B.
Whitney embedding theorem
The Whitney embedding theorem is a fundamental result in differential topology stating that any smooth n-dimensional manifold can be embedded as a submanifold of Euclidean space of sufficiently high dimension (specifically \(\mathbb{R}^{2n}\)).
-
C.
h-cobordism theorem
The h-cobordism theorem is a fundamental result in differential topology that classifies when two high-dimensional manifolds are diffeomorphic by analyzing the structure of a cobordism between them.
-
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.
Lefschetz fixed-point theorem
The Lefschetz fixed-point theorem is a fundamental result in algebraic topology that relates the number of fixed points of a continuous map on a topological space to traces of the induced maps on its homology groups.
- 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.
