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.
Erdős–Szekeres theorem
The Erdős–Szekeres theorem is a fundamental result in combinatorial geometry that guarantees the existence of large convex polygons within sufficiently large sets of points in the plane in general position.
-
B.
Deuring–Heilbronn phenomenon
The Deuring–Heilbronn phenomenon is a result in analytic number theory describing how the presence of an exceptional (Siegel) zero of a Dirichlet L-function forces other zeros away from the real axis, sharpening zero-free regions and affecting the distribution of primes in arithmetic progressions.
-
C.
de Bruijn–Erdős theorem
The de Bruijn–Erdős theorem is a fundamental result in combinatorics and graph theory that relates finite and infinite structures, notably asserting that certain properties of infinite graphs or set systems are determined by their finite substructures.
-
D.
Helly’s theorem
Helly’s theorem is a fundamental result in convex geometry that gives conditions under which a family of convex sets in Euclidean space has a nonempty common intersection.
-
E.
Minkowski’s theorem on convex sets
Minkowski’s theorem on convex sets is a fundamental result in convex geometry that characterizes lattice points in convex bodies, underpinning much of the theory of convex polytopes and the geometry of numbers.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
