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: Stirling's approximation | Statement: [Euler–Maclaurin summation formula, relatedTo, Stirling's approximation]
NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07
Target entity: Stirling's approximation
Context triple: [Euler–Maclaurin summation formula, relatedTo, Stirling's approximation]
  • A. Euler–Maclaurin summation formula
    The Euler–Maclaurin summation formula is a fundamental result in analysis that connects sums and integrals, providing powerful asymptotic expansions and error estimates for approximating series by integrals.
  • B. Hardy–Ramanujan asymptotic formula
    The Hardy–Ramanujan asymptotic formula is a landmark result in number theory that gives an approximate expression for the partition function p(n), describing how the number of integer partitions of n grows rapidly with n.
  • C. Pochhammer symbol
    The Pochhammer symbol is a mathematical notation representing rising factorials, widely used in series expansions, special functions, and hypergeometric functions.
  • D. Edgeworth expansion
    Edgeworth expansion is an asymptotic series that refines the central limit theorem by providing higher-order approximations to the distribution of normalized sums of random variables.
  • E. Gamma function
    The Gamma function is a fundamental extension of the factorial function to complex and real non-integer arguments, widely used in analysis, probability, and mathematical physics.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
