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: Christoffel symbols | Statement: [Ricci curvature tensor, dependsOn, Christoffel symbols]

Target entity: Christoffel symbols Context triple: [Ricci curvature tensor, dependsOn, Christoffel symbols]
-
A.
Levi-Civita connection
The Levi-Civita connection is the unique torsion-free affine connection on a Riemannian manifold that is compatible with its metric, enabling the definition of parallel transport and covariant differentiation.
-
B.
Riemann curvature tensor
The Riemann curvature tensor is a fundamental geometric object in differential geometry that measures how much a Riemannian manifold deviates from being flat by encoding the intrinsic curvature of the space.
-
C.
Ricci curvature tensor
The Ricci curvature tensor is a geometric object in differential geometry that measures how volumes in a curved space-time deviate from those in flat space, playing a central role in general relativity.
-
D.
Einstein tensor
The Einstein tensor is a mathematical object in general relativity that encapsulates how spacetime curvature is related to the distribution of matter and energy.
-
E.
Kretschmann scalar
The Kretschmann scalar is a curvature invariant in general relativity that combines components of the Riemann tensor into a single scalar quantity used to characterize the intensity of spacetime curvature, especially near singularities.
- 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]"
