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

Target entity: Erdős–Straus conjecture
Context triple: [Pál Erdős, knownFor, Erdős–Straus conjecture]
  • A. Beal conjecture
    The Beal conjecture is an unsolved problem in number theory proposing that if A^x + B^y = C^z with A, B, C, x, y, z positive integers and exponents greater than 2, then A, B, and C must share a common prime factor.
  • B. Bateman–Horn conjecture
    The Bateman–Horn conjecture is a far-reaching unproven statement in number theory that predicts how often sets of polynomial expressions simultaneously take prime values, generalizing several earlier conjectures about the distribution of prime numbers.
  • C. Waring's problem
    Waring's problem is a famous conjecture in number theory that concerns representing natural numbers as sums of fixed powers of integers and determining how many such powers are needed.
  • D. Hardy–Littlewood conjectures
    The Hardy–Littlewood conjectures are a collection of influential unproven hypotheses in analytic number theory that generalize the prime number theorem to describe the distribution of prime numbers and prime constellations.
  • E. Goldbach conjecture
    The Goldbach conjecture is a famous unsolved problem in number theory asserting that every even integer greater than 2 can be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
