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.
Wirtinger presentation of knot groups
The Wirtinger presentation of knot groups is a classical method in knot theory that describes the fundamental group of a knot complement using generators and relations derived from a knot diagram.
-
B.
Dehn surgery
Dehn surgery is a fundamental operation in 3-manifold topology that modifies a 3-dimensional manifold by cutting out a solid torus and gluing it back in a different way, playing a central role in the classification and study of 3-manifolds.
-
C.
Hyperbolic Manifolds and Discrete Groups
"Hyperbolic Manifolds and Discrete Groups" is a foundational mathematical monograph that develops the theory of hyperbolic geometry and its deep connections with discrete group actions and low-dimensional topology.
-
D.
Thom–Mather stratification
Thom–Mather stratification is a refined notion of stratification in differential topology that imposes strong regularity and control conditions on how smooth strata fit together, generalizing and strengthening Whitney stratifications.
-
E.
Milnor fibration
Milnor fibration is a fundamental construction in singularity theory and differential topology that describes how the complement of a complex hypersurface singularity fibers over the circle, revealing the local topological structure of the singularity.
- 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]"
