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).

Target entity: "On types of knotted curves"
Context triple: [Alexander–Briggs notation, introducedInPublication, "On types of knotted curves"]
  • A. Wirtinger presentation of knot groups
    The Wirtinger presentation of knot groups is a classical method in knot theory that describes the fundamental group of a knot complement using generators and relations derived from a knot diagram.
  • B. Conway notation for knots
    Conway notation for knots is a mathematical system introduced by John H. Conway that encodes knot and link diagrams into concise symbolic expressions to classify and study them.
  • C. Jordan curve theorem
    The Jordan curve theorem is a fundamental result in topology stating that any simple closed curve in the plane divides the plane into exactly two distinct regions, an "inside" and an "outside."
  • D. Dehn surgery
    Dehn surgery is a fundamental operation in 3-manifold topology that modifies a 3-dimensional manifold by cutting out a solid torus and gluing it back in a different way, playing a central role in the classification and study of 3-manifolds.
  • E. Smale’s paradox
    Smale’s paradox is a result in differential topology showing that a sphere can be turned inside out in three-dimensional space through smooth deformations without tearing or creasing, challenging intuitive notions of geometry.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
