source coding theorem
The source coding theorem is a fundamental result in information theory that establishes the minimum average number of bits needed to losslessly encode symbols from a given information source, linking this limit to the source’s entropy.

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: source coding theorem | Statement: [information theory, hasCoreConcept, source coding theorem]

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]"
Input

Generated description
The source coding theorem is a fundamental result in information theory that establishes the minimum average number of bits needed to losslessly encode symbols from a given information source, linking this limit to the source’s entropy.
