How this triple was built (4 steps)

Every LLM step that produced this triple, in pipeline order — named-entity classification, the disambiguation choices (the exact options shown, with the pick highlighted), and the generated description. The batch + timestamp of each is in the Provenance table below.

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: Poincaré sphere | Statement: [Stokes parameters, relatedTo, Poincaré sphere]
NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07
Target entity: Poincaré sphere
Context triple: [Stokes parameters, relatedTo, Poincaré sphere]
  • A. Stokes parameters
    Stokes parameters are a set of values that quantitatively describe the polarization state of electromagnetic radiation, widely used in optics and remote sensing.
  • B. Riemann sphere
    The Riemann sphere is the complex plane plus a point at infinity, forming a one-dimensional complex manifold topologically equivalent to a sphere and used to study meromorphic functions and complex analysis.
  • C. SPHERE
    SPHERE is a high-contrast imaging instrument on the Very Large Telescope designed primarily for directly observing and characterizing exoplanets and circumstellar disks.
  • D. Faraday effect
    The Faraday effect is a magneto-optical phenomenon in which the polarization plane of light is rotated as it passes through a material under the influence of a magnetic field aligned with the direction of propagation.
  • E. Fubini–Study form
    The Fubini–Study form is the canonical Kähler form on complex projective space, encoding its standard Hermitian and symplectic geometry.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
