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: Birkhoff–von Neumann theorem | Statement: [Garrett Birkhoff, notableConcept, Birkhoff–von Neumann theorem]

Target entity: Birkhoff–von Neumann theorem
Context triple: [Garrett Birkhoff, notableConcept, Birkhoff–von Neumann theorem]
  • A. Szekeres–Lindström theorem
    The Szekeres–Lindström theorem is a result in combinatorics that characterizes the maximum size of intersecting families of subsets, serving as a precursor to and special case of the Erdős–Ko–Rado theorem.
  • B. Gleason’s theorem
    Gleason’s theorem is a foundational result in the mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics that characterizes all probability measures on the lattice of projection operators in a Hilbert space, effectively justifying the Born rule.
  • C. de Bruijn–van Aardenne–Ehrenfest theorem
    The de Bruijn–van Aardenne–Ehrenfest theorem is a fundamental result in combinatorics that characterizes the number of Eulerian circuits in directed graphs, particularly de Bruijn graphs, and underpins constructions in coding theory and discrete mathematics.
  • D. Gelfand–Naimark theorem
    The Gelfand–Naimark theorem is a foundational result in functional analysis that characterizes C*-algebras as algebras of bounded operators on a Hilbert space (and, in the commutative case, as algebras of continuous functions on a locally compact Hausdorff space).
  • E. Erdős–Ko–Rado theorem
    The Erdős–Ko–Rado theorem is a fundamental result in extremal combinatorics that determines the maximum size of a family of subsets of a finite set in which every pair of subsets has a non-empty intersection.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

Provenance (5 batches)

The batch behind each pipeline step, in order, with when it ran. Timestamps are batch-level — stages were processed in waves, so the object chain (NER → NED1 → NEDg → NED2) reads in order, but predicate / elicitation batches can sit in a different wave.
