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

A.
Hermite interpolation
Hermite interpolation is a numerical analysis method for constructing a polynomial that matches both function values and specified derivatives at given data points.
-
B.
Carathéodory–Fejér interpolation
Carathéodory–Fejér interpolation is a classical result in complex analysis and approximation theory that concerns constructing analytic functions, typically with bounded or positive real part, that match prescribed initial Taylor coefficients.
-
C.
Newton interpolation polynomial
The Newton interpolation polynomial is a form of the interpolating polynomial that uses divided differences and a nested (incremental) structure, making it efficient to update when new data points are added.
-
D.
Lagrange interpolation polynomial
The Lagrange interpolation polynomial is a classical formula in numerical analysis that constructs a unique polynomial passing through a given set of data points, widely used for interpolation and approximation.

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]"
