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: Legendre's three-square theorem | Statement: [Lagrange's four-square theorem, relatedTo, Legendre's three-square theorem]

Target entity: Legendre's three-square theorem
Context triple: [Lagrange's four-square theorem, relatedTo, Legendre's three-square theorem]
  • A. Lagrange's four-square theorem
    Lagrange's four-square theorem is a fundamental result in number theory stating that every natural number can be expressed as the sum of four integer squares.
  • B. Jacobi’s four-square theorem
    Jacobi’s four-square theorem is a fundamental result in number theory that gives a precise formula for the number of ways an integer can be expressed as a sum of four squares.
  • C. Fermat's theorem on sums of two squares
    Fermat's theorem on sums of two squares is a result in number theory stating exactly which prime numbers (and, more generally, which integers) can be expressed as the sum of two perfect squares.
  • D. Fermat polygonal number theorem
    The Fermat polygonal number theorem is a result in number theory stating that every positive integer can be expressed as a sum of a fixed number of polygonal numbers of a given order.
  • E. 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.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
