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).

A.
Poincaré conjecture
The Poincaré conjecture is a landmark problem in topology that characterizes the three-dimensional sphere among three-dimensional manifolds and was famously solved by Grigori Perelman in the early 2000s.
-
B.
Hilbert’s twenty-third problem
Hilbert’s twenty-third problem is one of David Hilbert’s famous list of unsolved problems, focusing on the further development and systematic application of the calculus of variations.
-
C.
Hilbert problems
The Hilbert problems are a famous list of 23 unsolved mathematical problems presented by David Hilbert in 1900 that profoundly influenced the development of 20th-century mathematics.
-
D.
Hilbert’s twenty-second problem
Hilbert’s twenty-second problem is one of David Hilbert’s famous list of 23 problems, concerning the uniformization of analytic relations and the representation of multi-valued analytic functions by single-valued ones on suitable Riemann surfaces.
-
E.
Nash embedding theorem
The Nash embedding theorem is a fundamental result in differential geometry that shows any Riemannian manifold can be isometrically embedded into some Euclidean space, thereby realizing abstract curved spaces as concrete subsets of standard Euclidean space.
- 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.
